The questioner : We previously mentioned that it is recommended to cover up those found committing some of the major sins. Is that also the case for non-Muslims?
The Shaykh : If there is aggression against Muslims, then no. It is better not to cover up for him. For example, if this disbeliever commits unlawful sexual intercourse with a Muslim woman.
The questioner : Is she a Jew, for example?
The Shaykh : In this case, one looks at the public benefit. It may be that the public benefit lies in exposing them.
The questioner : ... They announce its manufacture in their residence?
The Shaykh : Its manufacture is not permissible. Promoting it and selling it to people is something they are prevented from doing.
