(4) In Islam there is a great importance of 'Ulama' and because of their knowledge of religion they are more important in comparison to the masses. Remember! If without the permission of Shairah you criticised that Islamic brother even to a single person, no matter how important a responsible figure he is, then it will be a major sin and if because of you the person became public and organizational problems cropped up in the area and in turn harming the Madani tasks of Sunnah then you shall be responsible of causing religious unrest and you will be entitled to punishment.
Otherwise abiding with the demand of Shariah, you can approach nigraans in higher positions. If there is a danger of religious harm by telling him in private or even by writing, co-operate with your area Zeli Nigaran in solving the problem. If you fail to rectify their mistake then remain silent and pray for the person. Hence if you find something wrong in an Islamic brother, then instead of telling someone else and committing a major sin by backbiting, you should try to rectify the person in private in a mild manner. (7) Satan causes one to backbite and in this way causes great harm to religious work.
