The ruling on abandoning advice to one who has committed a sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Chapter: If a person stands up to advise people about something, and then he falls into it due to his weakness, is his action better, or should he abandon the advice?
Answer:
No, he does not abandon the advice, even if he himself falls into the sin. Rather, he repents from the sin; he repents from the sin. The door of repentance is open, and he does not abandon advice, enjoining good and forbidding evil. He commits two crimes: first, the disobedience, and second, abandoning enjoining good and forbidding evil. If the one who enjoins and forbids had to be a perfect person, no one would have ever stood up to enjoin good and forbid evil. Yes.
