Reminding someone of their past sins

· 28 Muharram 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is reminding someone of their past errors allowed in Islam especially when it was something haraam?

Answer

This is extremely vile disgraceful behaviour. The fear is that the person that is insulting may become a victim.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
