Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, what is the ruling if you advise someone about something and he says, "The most important thing is the intention"? Okay, thank you.
Answer:
Yes, giving advice is obligatory, and the one who is advised must accept the advice. He should not say, "My heart is pure and my intention is good." That is not acceptable. He should say, "May Allah reward you with good," and accept the advice. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
