Summary
Mujaharah with sin means committing sin openly, and it is counted among the major sins forbidden in religion. It covers committing sin in public as well as telling others about a sin done in private. The fatwa states that smoking, exposing the aurah and recounting one's sins fall under this act. A person tested with sin should conceal it and increase repentance.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbuatan mujaharah dengan maksiat iaitu melakukan maksiat secara terang-terangan adalah di antara dosa besar yang dicegah dalam agama.
