If a woman is suspicious of her family, relatives, and those around her, and has a bad opinion of those around her, does she sin?

The questioner : She says: If a woman is suspicious of her family, relatives, and those around her, and has a bad opinion of those around her, does she sin, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, she sins, because it is obligatory to have a good opinion of a Muslim whose outward appearance is one of justice, and it is not permissible for anyone to suspect his brother of evil without evidence or proof. When a person, whether male or female, is led astray by Satan with such illusions and suspicions, he tires himself and others, and he loves and hates. Therefore, it is obligatory to refrain from this unless something clear and apparent is found, for every matter has its time and its place.
