ما معنى المثل دود الخل منه وفيه

The phrase “دود الخل منه فيه” is a common saying that implies when a bad incident like theft or conflict happens within a certain family, it is believed that someone from within the family is responsible for it rather than an outsider. This expression is used to suggest that the wrongdoing originates from someone close rather than a stranger. It suggests that treachery or betrayal comes from within and not from an external source.
