Note 1

No man accuses another of immorality…

(1) His statement: “No man accuses another of immorality…”: In Ad-Durr al-Mukhtar, it is said: He is disciplined for slandering a Muslim with “O immoral one,” unless his immorality is known, like a tax collector, or the judge knows of his immorality, as the disgrace was brought upon himself before the accusation.

قوله

(۱) قوله : لا يرمي رجل رجلا بالفسوق إلخ : قال في الدر المختار»: فيعزر بقذف أي بشتم مسلم ما بـ«يا فاسق» إلا أن يكون معلوم الفسق، كمكاس مثلا، أو علم القاضي بفسقه؛ لأن الشين قد ألحقه هو بنفسه قبل قول القائل.
