How a Muslim Protects Himself from Situations of Doubt So That People Do Not Think Ill of Him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In his second question, he says: In the hadith regarding i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque), when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in i'tikaf, he moved his wife to her house, and when a group of the Companions met him, he informed them that she was his wife. The implication of the hadith is that Islam encourages the Muslim not to stand in a position of doubt, or to clarify his status if he is accused of something. However, if some people are always dominated by bad suspicion and doubt, what is your advice? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
So, regarding what came in the question, the Muslim must avoid the inner causes of suspicion. If something happens that has no basis, he must clarify it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. This is part of teaching the Ummah to avoid suspicion and doubts, and to remove what may occur that has no basis. Yes.
