What is the ruling on saying: "This person is everywhere," if the intent is that he spies a lot on people?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to attribute espionage to a person without clear evidence. If this attribution is proven correct, then there is no harm in labeling him a "spy," if he is indeed characterized as such. Otherwise, it would be a lie and a calumny.
