The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
It is not permissible to say the mistakes of people to their faces in a way to offend them and in the presence of others and to condemn them because of it. To mention them behind a person’s back is a bigger sin since it is regarded as backbiting.
The following statement is included in our resources as a hadith: "If a person shames his brother for a sin, he shall not die until he himself commits it." (Tirmidhi, Qiyamah, 53, no: 2507; Bayhaqi, Shuabul-Iman, 5/315, no: 2778; see Kashful-Khafa, 2/265)
