The answer

We have previously answered regarding the ruling on delaying childbirth for an excuse, such as the one you mentioned. A Muslim should not entertain ill thoughts about others unless there is clear evidence and a strong indication. The default assumption about Muslims is their innocence from any wrongdoing, and one should not deviate from this principle except with conclusive proof. One should not judge a person as bad merely because they have made mistakes a few times, for all humans are fallible, and the best of those who err are those who repent.
