Commentary 4:148 One can make injurious remarks in public in a number of ways: One way is by sensationalizing moral failures, which often leads to more evil by imitation.…
لَّا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ الْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوءِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ إِلَّا مَن ظُلِمَ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا
4:148 One can make injurious remarks in public in a number of ways: One way is by sensationalizing moral failures, which often leads to more evil by imitation. Another is by spreading malicious gossip, which does no good but may hurt the feelings of others. Yet another may be by malevolent slander or libel, intended deliberately to cause harm to people’s reputation or injure them in other ways. However, justification for such remarks may exist if a person has been wronged, and if by pointing out this injustice others come to his help. Redress may also be possible in a court of law.
