Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, how do I reconcile the noble verse in which He, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Hujurat 49:12], with the hadith: “”? Does this include the whispers of the self?
Answer:
[Al-Hujurat 49:12], this refers to having bad suspicions about Muslims. So do not suspect your brother of anything bad; rather, have good suspicions about your Muslim brother. This is the meaning of “good,” meaning that the prohibition is to avoid [Al-Hujurat 49:12], that is, have good suspicions about your brother and do not suspect him of anything bad, because this is his right over you. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
