Is the work of a group of volunteers to uncover financial, administrative, and moral corruption in Saudi banks, publish its facts, mention the job titles of the transgressors without their explicit names, and raise awareness among customers and women about the transgressions, considered defamation or backbiting? And what is the legitimate advice to deter these individuals and preserve societal values?

Enjoining good and forbidding evil has regulations that must be observed to achieve reform. Customers and women can be alerted to warn them against deception without naming anyone. Among the regulations is that the evil act must be manifest and its perpetrator fully aware. He should be advised gently and kindly, and if he persists, he should be threatened with reporting the matter to the responsible authorities. If there is no clear evidence or possibility of change, then disapproval in the heart suffices. The proposed approach involves pitfalls such as defamation and accusing people without clear evidence.
