Advice to those who use the terms of innovation and open sinfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
I offer advice to those who use the terms of innovation and open sinfulness. May Allah will that we do not see anyone doing this. If it is found that some of the ignorant are doing this, we hope that they repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and do not let their tongues speak except with knowledge and insight. Also, speaking about people in gatherings, as well as backbiting and talebearing, is not permissible. If you see a mistake in someone, point it out to him, either between you and him, or by writing to him, or advising him, or something similar, in secret, without exposing him in gatherings.
