What is the ruling on saying "Fear Allah" to someone who is cursing, while the accuser practices masturbation and describes his face as gaunt, and is this considered hypocrisy?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
We have previously clarified the prohibition of masturbation, its harms, and the means to overcome it. Committing sins does not prevent a Muslim from advising piety or enjoining good and forbidding evil. Thus, it is not a condition for the advisor to be perfectly righteous, and the sinner is commanded to repent, not to abandon advising.
