Will a person be held accountable for unintentionally causing mental illness to another, and will their actions be exposed on the Day of Judgment, or will Allah conceal them?
The sacred texts confirm that retribution among people for injustices will occur on the Day of Judgment. For instance, the hornless sheep will be avenged against the horned one. And the bankrupt person will come on the Day of Judgment with many good deeds, but he had slandered, accused, consumed wealth unlawfully, and shed blood. So his good deeds will be given to those he wronged. If his good deeds are exhausted, their sins will be loaded upon him, and he will be cast into the Fire. Even believers, once they are saved from the Fire, will be detained on a bridge between Paradise and Hell to settle injustices before entering Paradise. Therefore, a Muslim must be extremely careful to avoid wronging others. If one has committed an injustice, they must repent by returning what was wrongfully taken and seeking absolution, such as allowing the wronged person to retaliate or forgive, along with regretting the sin, abandoning it, and resolving not to return to it.
