Is it permissible to transfer information from websites and personal blogs for re-publication, knowing that it may be unreliable, and how can its authenticity be verified in the absence of paper sources?

When transmitting and disseminating information, a Muslim must observe academic integrity. If there is doubt about the credibility of a piece of news, it should be conveyed in a tentative rather than definitive manner. This involves verifying information by seeking out primary sources and avoiding unreliable secondary sources.
