Immorality

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warns against carrying weapons against Muslims to intimidate or rob them. Whoever does so unjustly has committed a serious crime and a major sin and deserves this stern warning.

1. The Hadīth gives a stern warning against Muslims fighting one another.
2. One of the most mischievous acts on earth is to brandish weapons against Muslims and cause corruption by killing.
3. The warning in question does not apply to just fighting, such as fighting the oppressors, corruptors, and the like.
4. It is prohibited to scare Muslims with weapons and the like, even if done jokingly.

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warned that whoever says to another person: You are a defiant sinner, or: You are a disbeliever, if this person is not as he said, then he will be worthy of this mentioned description, and his accusation will rebound on him. However, if this person is as he said, then nothing will rebound on him given that he said the truth.

1. It is prohibited to accuse people of disbelief or defiant disobedience without a Shariah-approved justification.
2. Verification is obligatory before making judgments about people.
3. Ibn Daqīq al-‘Īd said: This is a grave threat to whoever falsely accuses a Muslim of being a disbeliever, which is a great dilemma.
4. Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalāni said: The fact that he does not consequently become a defiant sinner or a disbeliever does not entail that he is not deemed sinful when he said to him: You are a defiant sinner; rather, this situation needs to be tackled in detail. If he meant to advise him or others by clarifying his condition, then this is permissible. However, if he meant to insult, expose, and abuse him, then this is impermissible because he is commanded to conceal his faults and teach him and advise him in a friendly manner. So, whenever he can fulfill this in a lenient manner, then he is not allowed to do it violently because he could be a cause for tempting him and making him insist on such an act, given the fact that many people are too disdainful to accept the command, especially when the one who gives the command is inferior to the one commanded.

Whoever tries to incite a women against her husband, whether the inciter is a male or a female, by mentioning her husband's demerits and bad manners in her presence so as to make her hate him and rebel against him and try to free herself from him either by divorce or separation, or if someone incites a slave against his master and does things with him that make him rebel against his master and treat him in a bad manner, is not following our guidance or our methodology; rather this is from the work of the devil.
