بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

فَإِنَّ الكَذِبَ وَالبُهْتَانَ عَلَى المُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الظُّلْمِ، وَأَشَدِّ الِاعْتِدَاءِ عَلَى الأَعْرَاضِ، وَقَدْ تَوَعَّدَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ﷺ فَاعِلِيهِ بِأَشَدِّ الوَعِيدِ.

إنَّ صيانةَ الأعراضِ مِن مقاصدِ الشريعةِ العُظمى، وإنَّ الخوضَ فيها بغيرِ حقٍّ من كبائرِ الذنوبِ وعظيمِ الآثام.
وَإِنَّهُ يَجِبُ شَرْعًا عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ سَمِعَ كَذِبًا أَوْ بُهْتَانًا عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَقُومَ بِجُمْلَةٍ مِنَ الوَاجِبَاتِ، مِنْ بَابِ النُّصْرَةِ، وَإِقَامَةِ العَدْلِ، وَالحِرْصِ عَلَى سَلَامَةِ أَعْرَاضِ المُسْلِمِينَ.

وَمِنْ أَهَمِّ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ مَا يَأْتِي، كَمَا ذَكَرَهُ أَهْلُ العِلْمِ:

"١) إِنْكَارُ المُنْكَرِ وَرَدُّ البُهْتَانِ وَلَوْ أُوذِيَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ. قال الله تعالى: ﴿وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ المُنْكَرِ وَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا أَصَابَكَ﴾ [لقمان: 17]. وعن أبي الدرداءِ رضي الله عنه، عن النبي ﷺ قال: «مَنْ رَدَّ عَنْ عِرْضِ أَخِيهِ، رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ النَّارَ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ» رواه الترمذي (1931) وصححه الألباني. فيجب على المسلم إنكارُ الكذبِ، وبيانُ بُطلانِه، وعدمُ السُّكوتِ على البُهتانِ إذا استطاع ردَّه.

٢) نُصْرَةُ المَظْلُومِ. وعن جابرٍ وأنسٍ رضي الله عنهما قالا: قال رسول الله ﷺ: «انصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا». قالوا: نَنصُرُهُ مَظْلُومًا، فكيف نَنصُرُهُ ظَالِمًا؟ قال: «تَمْنَعُهُ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ، فَذَلِكَ نَصْرُهُ» متفق عليه. فإذا كان المظلومُ هو مَن وقع عليه الكذبُ، فالواجبُ نُصرتُهُ بالدفاعِ عنه وتوضيحِ الحقيقة.

٣) عَدَمُ تَصْدِيقِ الكَذِبِ دُونَ بَيِّنَةٍ. قال الله تعالى: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا﴾ [الحجرات: 6]. فلا يجوزُ للمسلم أن يُصدِّقَ ما يسمعُهُ من البُهتانِ دونَ تَحَقُّقٍ وتَثَبُّتٍ.

٤) السِّتْرُ عَلَى المُسْلِمِ وَعَدَمُ إِشَاعَةِ الفَاحِشَةِ لَوْ ثَبَتَتْ. قال النبي ﷺ: «مَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ» رواه مسلم. وقال تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَشِيعَ الفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ﴾ [النور: 19]. فحتى إن ثبتَ شيءٌ، فليس كلُّ ما يُعرَفُ يُقال، والسترُ أولى ما لم يكن في كشفه مصلحةٌ راجحة.

٥) نُصْحُ مَنْ نَقَلَ الكَذِبَ وَتَحْذِيرُهُ مِنَ الغِيبَةِ وَالبُهْتَانِ. فمن نقل الكذبَ قد يكون غافلًا أو جاهلًا بحُكمه، فيُذَكَّرُ ويُنصَحُ؛ لأن الغيبةَ والبُهتانَ من الكبائر. قال النبي ﷺ: «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الغِيبَةُ؟» قالوا: اللهُ ورسولُهُ أعلم. قال: «ذِكْرُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ». قيل: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَخِي مَا أَقُولُ؟ قال: «إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدِ اغْتَبْتَهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ» رواه مسلم.

٦) حُسْنُ الظَّنِّ بِالمُسْلِمِ. قال الله تعالى مؤدِّبًا المؤمنين في حادثة الإفك: ﴿وَلَوْلَا إِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ قُلْتُمْ مَا يَكُونُ لَنَا أَنْ نَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَذَا سُبْحَانَكَ هَذَا بُهْتَانٌ عَظِيمٌ﴾ [النور: 16]. وقال تعالى: ﴿لَوْلَا إِذْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ ظَنَّ المُؤْمِنُونَ وَالمُؤْمِنَاتُ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ خَيْرًا وَقَالُوا هَذَا إِفْكٌ مُبِينٌ﴾ [النور: 12]."

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Indeed, lying and slander against Muslims are among the gravest forms of injustice and the most severe assaults upon honor, and Allah and His Messenger ﷺ have threatened those who commit them with the harshest punishment.
Preserving people’s honor is among the greatest objectives of Islamic law, and transgressing against it without right is from the major sins.

It is therefore religiously obligatory upon everyone who hears a lie or slander against a Muslim to fulfill a set of duties, out of support for the oppressed, establishment of justice, and concern for safeguarding the honor of Muslims.

Among the most important of these duties are the following, as mentioned by the scholars:

1) Condemning wrongdoing and refuting slander, even if one is harmed for doing so. Allah the Exalted says: “And enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and be patient over what befalls you” (Luqman 17). And Abu al-Dardā’ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever defends the honor of his brother, Allah will shield his face from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.” [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1931) and authenticated by al-Albani]. Thus, it is incumbent upon a Muslim to denounce falsehood, clarify its falseness, and not remain silent regarding slander when he is able to refute it.

2) Supporting the oppressed. Jabir and Anas (may Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Support your brother, whether he is an oppressor or oppressed.” They said: “We support him when he is oppressed, but how do we support him when he is an oppressor?” He said: “You prevent him from oppression; that is your support of him.” [Agreed upon]. If the oppressed person is the one targeted by false accusations, then it is obligatory to support him by defending him and clarifying the truth.

3) Not believing lies without clear evidence. Allah the Exalted says: “O you who believe, if a wicked person comes to you with news, then verify it” (al-Ḥujurat 6). It is therefore impermissible for a Muslim to believe slanderous claims without verification and careful confirmation.

4) Concealing the faults of a Muslim and not spreading immorality, even if it is proven. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever conceals a Muslim, Allah will conceal him in this world and the Hereafter.”[Narrated by Muslim]. And Allah the Exalted says: “Indeed, those who love that immorality should be spread among the believers will have a painful punishment” [al-Nur 19]. Thus, even if something is established, not everything that is known should be spoken of; concealing is preferable unless there is a preponderant benefit in disclosure.

5) Advising the one who transmits falsehood and warning him against backbiting and slander. The one who spreads lies may be heedless or ignorant of its ruling, so he should be reminded and advised, for backbiting and slander are among the major sins. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Do you know what backbiting is?” They said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “It is mentioning your brother in a way he dislikes.” It was said: “What if what I say about my brother is true?” He said: “If what you say is true, you have backbitten him; and if it is not true, you have slandered him.” [Narrated by Muslim].

6) Having good expectations of the Muslim (حُسن الظن). Allah the Exalted said, instructing the believers during the incident of false accusation (i’fik): “Why, when you heard it, did you not say, ‘It is not for us to speak of this. Glory be to You! This is a great slander’?” (al-Nur 16). And He said: “Why, when you heard it, did the believing men and believing women not think good of one another and say, ‘This is an obvious lie’?” (al-Nur 12).
