Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A wife is not permitted to accuse her husband of committing without clear evidence, for Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption.

This verse prohibits His believing servants from many assumptions, which include accusing and suspecting family, relatives, and people without valid reason, because some of these assumptions constitute pure sin.
