Denying evil among relatives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: If a believing woman sees one of her relatives committing some of the wrongs, what should her stance be?
A: She must deny the wrong using a good manner, kind words, gentleness, and compassion for the one committing the wrong; for he may be ignorant, or he may have a harsh temperament, so if she denies it to him with severity, his evil increases. So she must deny the wrong using a good manner, kind words, and clear evidence from what Allah said and what His Messenger said, along with supplicating for his success; so that no aversion arises. This is how the one who enjoins good and forbids evil should be: he should possess knowledge, insight, gentleness, and forbearance such that the one to whom he denies the wrong accepts it, without becoming averse or defiant. The one who enjoins good and forbids evil should strive to use words through which the acceptance of the truth is hoped for.
