Mutual advice among Muslims and their cooperation in righteousness and piety are among the most emphasized requirements. It is a right of a Muslim upon his brothers that they be patient with him, repeatedly advise him, and frequently supplicate for him if he errs, drawing inspiration from the patience of the Prophets. One of the most important means of correcting an error is to clarify the ruling and discuss it, regardless of who uttered it. As for one who repents, he must be concealed, and he should not be disgraced.
