Difference Between Advising And Condemning

Quran For All - In Every Hand, In Every Heart.

"Difference Between Advising And Condemning" by Al-Haafidh Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali

Al-Fudail (rahimahullaah) said, "The believer conceals (the sin of his brother) and advises (him), while the evildoer disgraces and condemns (him)."

This is what Al-Fudail has mentioned as being from the signs of advising and condemning - and it is that advising is linked to secrecy while condemning is linked to publicizing. It used to be said, "Whosoever commands his brother (towards doing good) at the head of a gathering, then he has condemned him." Or it is something with this meaning.
