The question

Does the conditional sentence: "If this young man has falsely and slanderously accused you, then he has committed a grave wrong" mean that the young man has not committed a wrong if he did not falsely and slanderously accuse the questioner? And has the questioner put himself in an awkward position by asking about this accusation if it has not spread? And what should the questioner do who has been seriously accused, especially since he heard the accuser insult the Divine Essence, and is it permissible for him to seek revenge?

The answer

The questioner has asked many questions about a specific topic, and she was asked not to think about it so that it would not distract her from what benefits her. Repeating the question reinforces this matter in her mind and may become an obsession. The phrase "If you are truthful in your words and your claim against the young man" is not without another possibility. One must be careful to ward off thoughts and be preoccupied with the remembrance and gratitude of Allah. It is not permissible for her to punish the man or take revenge on him herself, for if his action is proven, then the responsible authorities are the ones to punish him.
