Question: Giving bias advice
Salaam,
I have a question,
I gave a freind some advice which was very bais, Will I get sin for that, although I made it very clear that it was just my advice.

I was very young wen I gave this advice (only 18), I told some one they should get a divorce, I had my reasons to give this advice.

But I was scared wen I found out that divorce is one of the most disliked of halal things in ALLAH's creation.

The couple didnt get a divorce, so that proves they didnt take my advice.
But the fact remains that I still gave some1 that advice.

W/Salaam

Respected brother/sister

It is strongly emphasized in Islam to try your utmost to reconcile between a couple if they are experiencing marital problems. Divorce is certainly the most abhorred of permissible matters in the eyes of Allah and it should never be encouraged unless absolutely necessary. Instigating a divorce or any problems between a couple is a grave sin. However you were ignorant at the time. Alhamdulillah Allah saved their marriage despite your advice. There is no sin that Allah will not forgive if one repents sincerely, so there is no reason for you to feel despondent.

And Allah knows best

Wassalaam.
