Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it obligatory to advise in this matter?
Answer:
If you know what is in his heart, then advise him.
Q: It appears that it is always, meaning?
A: No. You advise in general that one must be cautious of showing off in worship, and that is all. You do not say, "This person is showing off," because you do not know what is in his heart. You say to your brothers whom you fear for: "Do you see that showing off in worship is not permissible, and it is obligatory to be sincere in one's deeds for Allah; in his recitation, in his prayer, in his charity, in visiting the sick, in everything, he should seek the Face of Allah, as a matter of mutual advice."
