Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said, may Allah grant you success: This woman asks, and she says: Is it permissible for her to search her husband’s cell phone and look at this phone without his permission, or is this considered spying?
Answer:
Yes, she should not do this, because she might come across something she dislikes and then be embarrassed. It is better for her not to know. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
