Does recounting minor sins through religious stories, with the aim of clarifying their evils and presenting repentance as a solution, constitute publicizing them?
There is no harm in recounting news of sins, while urging repentance and explaining their dangers, even if these sins are major. This is supported by the about the repentance of the killer of one hundred souls. It is advisable to frequently mention the texts of revelation due to their effect in deterring people from sins and attracting them to good deeds. It is more appropriate for a Muslim to dedicate their time and effort to learning the Qur’an and , understanding their meanings, and inviting others to them, given the widespread ignorance of them. One should not occupy themselves with writing and reading stories and compositions while remaining ignorant of the texts of revelation.
