Haram Speech & character

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﴾

Ó fiéis, evitai tanto quanto possível a suspeita, porque algumas suspeitas implicam em pecado. Não vos espreiteis, nemvos calunieis mutuamente. Quem de vós seria capaz de comer a carne do seu irmão morto? Tal atitude vos causa repulsa! Temei a Deus, porque Ele é Remissório, Misericordiosíssimo.
