Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Do I keep the secret of people who commit sins?

Answer:
The one who is open about it has his state made clear so that he may be deterred, but as for the one who does it in secret, it is as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever covers (the sin of) a Muslim, Allah will cover him (his sin) in this world and in the Hereafter.مَن ستر مسلمًا ستره الله في الدنيا والآخرة
Sunan Ibn Majah 2544Sahih (Darussalam)
