Reading personal correspondence, espionage, surveillance

 

Dr. 'Abdurahman ibn 'Abdullah, may Allah preserve him, said: "And it is also impossible to follow the conversations and correspondence of others on the Internet, since Allah Almighty said:

( وَلاَ تَجَسَّسُوا ) "... and watch out for each other" (Surah room: 12), because it is the surveillance of the fact that the person hides from others and also, it is identifying what they hid and wish to maintain, and what I do not want to see people. On the contrary, "whoever looks into someone else's house without the permission of the owners, they are allowed to knock out an eye," as Muslim reported, and they should not compensate for the damage. Espionage is punishable at the discretion of judges, since there is no prescribed punishment for it, and punishments at the discretion of judges can be different. "

(from the book "al-Ahkamul fiqhiyah lita'amulatil iliktroniyya" (page: 321)


ما جاء عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضيَ الله عنه قَالَ : صَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَنَادَى بِصَوْتٍ رَفِيعٍ فَقَالَ ( يَا مَعْشَرَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَلَمْ يُفْضِ الْإِيمَانُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ : لَا تُؤْذُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَلَا تُعَيِّرُوهُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا عَوْرَاتِهِمْ ؛ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ تَتَبَّعَ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ تَتَبَّعَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ ، وَمَنْ تَتَبَّعَ اللَّهُ عَوْرَتَهُ يَفْضَحْهُ وَلَوْ فِي جَوْفِ رَحْلِهِ ) رواه الترمذي ( 1955 ) وصححه الألباني في " صحيح الترمذي " .


It is reported from Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, climbed the minbar, then, loudly proclaiming, said:

"O those who have accepted Islam verbally, and faith has not strengthened in their hearts! Do not harm Muslims, and do not reproach them, and do not watch over their shortcomings, truly whoever watches over the shortcomings of his Muslim brother, Allah will watch over his shortcomings, and whoever Allah watched over, He will reveal his shortcomings, even if he hides at home."

at-Tirmizi (1955), and Albani considered it authentic in Sahih at-Tirmizi.


Sharh

قال المباركفوري – رحمه الله - : " ( عوراتهم ) فيما تجهلونها ، ولا تكشفوها فيما تعرفونها .

( تتبع الله عورته ) ذكره على سبيل المشاكلة أي : كشف عيوبه ، ومن أقبحها تتبع عورة الأخ المسلم ، وهذا في الآخرة .

( ومن تتبع الله عورته يفضحه ) أي : يكشف مساويه .

( ولو في جوف رحله ) أي : ولو كان في وسط منزله مخفيّاً من الناس " انتهى من " تحفة الأحوذي " ( 6 / 153 ) باختصار .


Al-Mubarakfuri, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

"And don't watch out for their flaws." Here we mean behind the flaws that you do not know, and do not identify the flaws that you know. "Allah will watch over his shortcomings," that is, He will reveal his (the one who watched) shortcomings, and one of the most disgusting shortcomings is to watch over the shortcomings of his Muslim brother and the identification of this defect will be on the Day of Judgment. "And the one whom Allah has been watching, He will reveal his flaws," that is, He will reveal his bad traits. "Even if he hides at home," that is, even if he hides from people in his house."

Abbreviated from Tukhfatu l-ahvazi 6/153.

Assassins

  This phenomenon of the medieval Muslim world is well known in Europe. They came to court at the time of the heyday of orientalism in the XIX century. Overgrown with numerous legends. They became objects of mass culture in the XX and XXI centuries. One of their names migrated to English as a common name and denotes a political killer there. It is about this remarkable sect that our conversation today will be about. Origins  The history of Islam is a list of schisms, big and not so big. It all started in 632, when Muhammad, the Muslim prophet and founder of this religion, died. Inspired and united by the deceased Arabs, the main conquests and successes were still ahead. But first they had to overcome the first serious test – the division of inheritance. Immediately, the election of a caliph who would lead all Muslims began, and continued expansion. Not without intrigues, swearing and pressure, the Quraysh tribe won in this process – the first 4 caliphs were just one of them. T...
