Discussing one's sins with others

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2018-04-23 08:51

Q: I understand that it is a sin to discuss one's sin with a friend due to it showing a lack of shame. What if I am the one who hasn't committed the sin, but it's my friend that is talking about matters that relates to his sins with me? How should I handle these conversations despite already trying to give da'wah? Do I get sins also for indulging or contributing to this conversation since it might be displeasing to Allah?

A: If he is relating it with remorse and for seeking help then refer him to someone or a shaykh who is experienced. He may be able to assist him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
