Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to accuse a Muslim of indecency without clear proof. A Muslim's indecency, if proven, should be concealed. One should strive to change evil (munkar) if able. As for the implementation of legal punishments (hudud), that is the prerogative of the ruler. In dealing with a disobedient sister, one should choose what is most beneficial for her reform, whether through shunning or through advice and persistent connection.
