The answer

The location where the incident occurred should not be specified, in order to conceal the faults of Muslims, unless there is an overriding benefit, such as warning people. The default is non-specification, following the , as in the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "What is wrong with people who do such and such?" It is disliked to expose the faults of Muslims due to the corrupting consequences that result, such as public defamation and emulation of evil deeds. In addressing such issues, one should refer to the people of knowledge and goodness in the community.
