Last time I wanted to say "Disturbing someone is bad", so I directly wrote:

> 誰かを邪魔するの悪いよ

But I just came across another way of saying it :

> 誰かを邪魔しては悪いよ

It bothers me a lot not to know the nuance between those two, because it's not
the first time I think about it, so what would the difference between the
nominalizer の（は） and しては is?

conditionals nominalization
Difference between しては and nominalizer のは
> 誰かを邪魔するのは悪い  
>  lit. _Disturbing someone is bad_
>
> 誰かを邪魔しては悪い  
>  lit. _If/should it disturb(s) someone, it is bad_

の is but a nominalizer, while
[ては](https://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AF-576591) is a conditional
expression. You can translate the latter as "disturbing someone is bad" in
some situations too, but the two are different in principle. Maybe a better
translation is "I'm afraid of disturbing someone" for the latter.
