    So true people always jumping to conclusion without realising we should think before leaping.

    but mostly judging others is subjected to our own defined criterion.

    Dawud :: Book 41 : Hadith 4872
    Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: Zayd ibn Wahb said: A man was brought to Ibn Mas'ud. He was told: This is so and so, and wine was dropping from his beard. Abdullah thereupon said: We have been prohibited to seek out (faults). If anything becomes manifest to us, we shall seize it.

    and near similar hadith with Calipha Umar RA shows how important to have ilm first before passing any judgement.

    Re: Think Before You Judge

    The right position of handling such situation from our Books & example of Sahabas could be not taking a snap or photo which is a sin as it will come under hadiths not to seek faults against your brother and passing it on to others a GREATER SIN of spreading indecency which may come under these many hadiths in post # 55 here http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthrea...r-Wisdom/page2

    So the better way is to approach him and ask the real situation he is in and if he was really drunk (you saw, spoke and acertain it) is to advice him in PRIVACY with hikmah when he is in his sense . Spreading bad things begets bad since who are trying to be away from those things may dare for it when so & so brother does , so why not we ? and exposing it make even a person drinking secretly becoming shyless and drink on the open with pride. So the person who spreads this (indecency) causes more harm to society than good and from other hadiths we know Prophet had instructed to hide sins even if it were very grave sins .

    Dawud :: Book 41 : Hadith 4873
    Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: He who sees something which should be kept hidden and conceals it will be like one who has brought to life a girl buried alive.

    When evil is done in public, it should be shunned in public so others do not copy the person. However, when evil is done in secret, then we correct it in secret.

    As people we just need to be very very careful to think many times before we judge let alone passing a judgment.

    Agree no one should copy a sin but dude not everyone lives in a country run by Sharia law.
    Shunning one person shouldn't be a lesson for another.

    There is a way of correcting someone and not cause any oppression . This doesn't mean we mock and estrange that person. I used a wrong word "shun."
    Shunning one person shouldn't be a lesson for another.
    We must treat people well. However, we must also correct them in public. You gave me a wrong impression with "judging."

    Definition of judge



    • : one who makes judgments: such asa : a public official authorized to decide questions brought before a courtb : one appointed to decide in a contest or competition : umpirec : one who gives an authoritative opinion


    "
    No matter how righteous a person may be, he still needs sincere advice, guidance and reminders in the light of the Qur’aan and Sunnah. Allaah said to the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds, the most perfect of all creation (interpretation of the meaning): “O Prophet (Muhammad)! Keep your duty to Allaah, and obey not the disbelievers and the hypocrites (i.e., do not follow their advice). Verily, Allaah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise”[al-Ahzaab 33:1] "https://islamqa.info/en/11403

    There is consensus that forbidding evil is obligatory for the one who is able to do it, and is safe from harm to himself or the Muslims. But if he fears (harm) then he may denounce it in his heart and shun the doer of evil and not mix with him. See: Tafseer al-Qurtubi (6/253).


    Secondly: In order for this principle to be implemented there are conditions that must be met, most of which have to do with the person who is denouncing it, and some of which have to do with the principle itself. Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The first condition is that he should know the Islamic ruling concerning that which he is enjoining or forbidding, so he should only enjoin that which he knows that sharee’ah enjoins, and he should only forbid that which he knows sharee’ah forbids, and he should not rely on his taste or customs with regard to that. The second condition is that he should know the situation of the person addressed: is he one who should be enjoined or forbidden, or not? If he sees a person who he is not sure whether he is accountable or not, he should not enjoin anything upon him until he finds out. The third condition is that he should know about the person who appears to be accountable: has he done the action he wants to enjoin, or not? If he sees someone enter the mosque and sit down, and he is not sure whether he did the two rak’ahs or not, he should not denounce him or tell him to do them, rather he should find out more. The fourth condition is that he should be able to enjoin what is good and forbid what is bad, without bringing harm upon himself. If it will bring harm upon him, then he does not have to do it, but if he is patient and does it, that is better, because all duties are subject to the condition that one be able to do them, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can”[al-Taghaabun 64:16] “Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope”[al-Baqarah 2:286] The fifth condition is that enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil should not result in any evil greater than keeping quiet. If that will result then he does not have to do it, rather it is not permissible for him to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil. Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh al-‘Uthaymeen (8/652-654). Thirdly: Once you know that enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil are two of the duties of sharee’ah, and the shar’i conditions for doing it are fulfilled, then you must understand that if you see evil being committed, then not advising the one who is doing it means that you are sinning, unless someone else denounces it, because it is an individual obligation (fard ‘ayn) upon you if you see evil being committed and there is no one else to advise the evildoer except you, but if there is someone else who undertakes to advise the evildoer, then it becomes a communal obligation (fard kifaayah) and you are not sinning if someone else fulfils the duty. Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Some people say that enjoining good and forbidding evil can only be done with the permission of a ruler or governor, but they do not allow ordinary individuals to do this, but this is wrong because the verses and reports indicate that everyone who sees an evil and keeps quiet is sinning, so there is no need for the permission of the ruler. Mukhtasar Minhaaj al-Qaasideen (p. 124). Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil may be an individual obligation, in the case of one who sees an evil when there is no one else to denounce it, and he is able to denounce it. In that case he is individually obliged to denounce it because there is a great deal of evidence to that effect, among the clearest of which is the hadeeth in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh. Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (3/212). Fourthly: It makes no difference whether these evils take place in the street, the home or the workplace; if a Muslim is able to denounce them without that leading to harm, then he has no excuse for not denouncing them. Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The believing men and women enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and the believer does not keep quiet. If he sees his brother committing an evil, he denounces him. Similarly, if he sees his sister, paternal aunt, maternal aunt or anyone else committing an evil action, he tells them not to do that. If he sees his brother in faith or his sister in faith falling short in some duty, he denounces him for that, and enjoins him to do what is good. All of that is to be done with kindness and wisdom, and good manners. If the believer sees one of his brothers in faith being lazy in praying, or engaging in backbiting or gossip, or smoking or drinking, or disobeying one or both of his parents, or severing the ties of kinship, he denounces him in kind words and with good manners, not with hateful words and harshness, and he explains to him that it is not permissible for him to do this thing. All of these evils must be denounced by every believing man and woman and every righteous person, by husbands and wives, brothers, relatives, neighbours, friends and others. They must all do that, as Allaah says, describing the believing men and women (interpretation of the meaning): “they enjoin (on the people) Al‑Ma‘roof (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al‑Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden)”[al-Tawbah 9:71] And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If the people see an evil and do not change it, soon Allaah will punish them all.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” This is general in meaning and applies to all evil actions, whether they are on the road, in the home, in the mosque, on an airplane, on a train, in a car or anywhere else. This applies to both men and women. A woman can speak and a man can speak, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, because this is in the interests of all and concerns the salvation of all. It is not permissible to keep quiet about that to avoid upsetting the husband, brother or anyone else. But it should be done with good manners and kind words, not with violence and harshness, paying attention to suitable times. Some people may not be open to advice at some times, but at other times they may be willing to accept it. The believing man and woman pay attention to the appropriate times for denouncing evil and enjoining good, and they should not despair and think that the one who does not accept it today will not accept it tomorrow. The believing man should not despair and the believing woman should not despair, rather they should carry on denouncing evil and enjoining what is good with sincerity towards Allaah and His slaves, and thinking positively of Allaah and hoping for the reward that is with Allaah
