Haram Speech & character

Is spying on others and thinking badly of them haram?

Short answer

Yes. The Quran tells believers to avoid much suspicion because some suspicion is sinful, and not to spy on one another (49:12). Searching for people's faults and secrets is forbidden.

Evidence

Quran

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱجْتَنِبُوا۟ كَثِيرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ ٱلظَّنِّ إِثْمٌۭ ۖ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا۟ وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا ۚ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًۭا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّابٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ ﴿١٢﴾

O vous qui avez cru! Evitez de trop conjecturer [sur autrui] car une partie des conjectures est péché. Et n'espionnez pas; et ne médisez pas les uns des autres. L'un de vous aimerait-il manger la chair de son frère mort? (Non!) vous en aurez horreur. Et craignez Allah. Car Allah est Grand Accueillant au repentir, Très Miséricordieux.
