Is one who types something forbidden on a keyboard with Arabic letters, without looking at it, sinful?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to intentionally write or utter that which is unlawful, by any language or means, as Allah Almighty says: "And shun the word of falsehood" (22:30). As for unintentional, random writing that results in something unlawful, there is no sin in it as long as the heart did not intend it, as Allah Almighty says: "And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred, but [blame is due for] what your hearts intended" (33:5). This act is considered a frivolous deed that is not befitting of a rational person.
