Summary
This claim has a basis in a hadith narrated by al-Tirmidhi. Scholars explain that whoever mocks a brother for a sin he has repented from will be tested with the same sin before death, especially when the mockery is accompanied by self-admiration and a claim of being free from that sin. Forbidding wrongdoing for the sake of Allah is distinguished from mockery, which stems from arrogance. Muslims are advised to avoid mocking and reproaching the sins of others.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, terdapat sandaran terhadap apa yang disebutkan itu berdasarkan hadis yang diriwayatkan Imam al-Tirmidzi dan penerangan di atas.
