Is it permissible to listen to a wife complaining about her husband's infidelity and suspecting him of committing adultery based on evidence she found on his phone and in his behavior, even though he appears committed to prayer?
It must be made clear that it is not permissible to accuse a woman of indecency without evidence, and that spying on the husband is forbidden except in certain circumstances. If the wife becomes aware of her husband's disobedience, she must advise him, enjoin good upon him, forbid evil from him, and conceal his fault. If the woman does not respond to the advice, it is not permissible to listen to her engaging in defamation, but rather it is necessary to leave the gathering.
