are hidden because they are already the cause of the displeasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and to publicise them is daring and shamelessness. Therefore, they should not be publicised. It is stated in Fatawa Shaami: ‘اِظْهَارُ الْمَعْصِيَةِ مَعْصِيَةٌ’. Meaning, publicising a sin is also a sin. (Rad-ul-Muhtar, vol. 2, p. 650)

The merciful Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has been heard saying: ‘Each and every one of my followers will be forgiven, except for those who publicise their sins. Publicising a sin is for a man to commit a sin at night, and then when morning arrives, Allah Almighty has covered his sin but he says, ‘Oh so and so! I did such and such thing last night’, although he spent his night in such a state that his Merciful Lord had veiled him, and in the morning he removes the veil that Allah Almighty had placed (upon him).’ (Bukhari, vol. 4, p. 118, Hadees 6069)
