Do forum moderators' neglect of their responsibilities constitute a trust for which they bear the burden of sin?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The forum moderator must carry out the supervisory tasks assigned to him because he is entrusted with them, as Allah Almighty says: "And those who are to their trusts and their covenants attentive," and His saying: "O you who have believed, do not betray Allah and the Messenger or betray your trusts while you know [the consequence]." He is not permitted to neglect them, for that involves deception. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever deceives is not from me."
