He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the matter return to the one who accuses a man of something that is not the case, based on the inference from the hadith, making it a general ruling?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the hadith is general and applies to this, though it varies depending on the wording, the wording
The questioner:

Everything has its ruling, but the sin of the speech returns to him. Yes.
