Q:
Is it OK for someone to criticize somebody else for doing something wrong when the critic himself is weak in other areas?
A:
And the answer is yes. As long as you are not blameworthy in this one area you have a right to teach other people to practice what you yourself do.
If you don’t do it yourself however, then you’re told to refrain from criticizing or teaching; but if you yourself do it then you could, even though in other areas you are weak.
