There is a serious difference between a person who falls into a sin privately and struggles to leave it, and someone who publicly displays and normalizes that sin before thousands of people. A Muslim may fall short. A Muslim may struggle. We ask Allaah to forgive us and help us leave our sins. But that does not mean we should turn our sins into content, present them as harmless, or make what is haraam appear normal to the people. And when a person publicly displays something sinful, the matter is no longer simply about his private struggle. It can become a source of confusion and a bad example for others—especially when the person is known for speaking about Islaam and advising people. At the same time, Islam does not permit us to expose the private sins of our brothers and sisters. If someone is struggling with a sin in private, we advise them, remind them to fear Allaah, and conceal what Allaah has concealed. But when a person takes that sin public and makes it part of his public image and content, we must understand the seriousness of confusing people about what Allaah has made halaal and haraam. May Allaah forgive our sins, conceal our faults, and grant us the sincerity and strength to abandon what displeases Him.
