Question:
May Allah reward you. Moving on to another question from Sister Fatimah from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, upon whom is the best of prayers and the most perfect of peace. She says: “As-salamu alaykum. I insulted a woman unintentionally and spoke words while I was in a state of extreme anger and fear. Now I am deeply regretful and I cannot tell that woman that I insulted her because it may lead to problems. What must I do?”
Answer:
If the matter is as you described, and you fear that if you inform her and ask for her forgiveness, something worse than the insult will occur, then you must speak well of her in gatherings and make du'a' (supplication) for her. Yes.
