What kind of news should be verified if it comes from a dissolute person, and does that include everything he says, or is it limited to news that entails significant matters such as rights and testimonies?

The verse (O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate) addresses the news brought by a disobedient person, which affects the interests and rights of others, because the caution is against harming people out of ignorance. Thus, investigation means gaining knowledge before accepting his news.

Scholars have agreed to accept the news of a disobedient person in matters of transactions that do not involve the rights of others, such as accepting a gift, buying and selling goods, and requesting permission to enter. This also applies to a person's claim against himself, or his acknowledgment of a right for another person against himself, as these reports are not invalidated.

As for other matters, if a person's disobedience is established, his statement in reports is unanimously void, because reporting is a trust, and disobedience invalidates it.

In summary, verification of the news of a disobedient person is required if it entails harm to others. His news is accepted if there is evidence of its truthfulness, rejected if there is evidence of its falsehood, and held in abeyance if the matter is not clear.
