"Slandering chaste, unsuspecting women" is one of the seven destructive sins. "Chaste women" refers to virtuous women, and "unsuspecting women" refers to those unaware of immoral acts. Slander is accusing an innocent person of immorality. The punishment for a slanderer in Islam is eighty lashes and the permanent rejection of their testimony.
