Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a colleague who fled from our sponsor, and I have the address of my fugitive colleague. My sponsor threatened to deport me to my country if I did not provide the address of my fugitive colleague, so I gave him the address of my colleague. Is this considered a form of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the fugitive is wronged, do not disclose his whereabouts. If he is the wrongdoer, disclose his whereabouts and assist in obtaining his rights, and it is not permissible for you to conceal that. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
