2.  Imam Ja’far Sadiq  narrates from his ancestors that the  Holy  Prophet  (s.a.w.s.)  said,  “One  who  is  committing sins  secretly,  it  is  harmful  for  that  individual  himself. However if he is sinning openly and is not being restrained, it is harmful for everyone.” Imam Ja’far Sadiq  said, “It is an insult of Allah’s religion. The sinners and their followers are like enemies of Allah.”
