Evidence

Quran

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌۭ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونُوا۟ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَآءٌۭ مِّن نِّسَآءٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُنَّ ۖ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا۟ بِٱلْأَلْقَٰبِ ۖ بِئْسَ ٱلِٱسْمُ ٱلْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ ٱلْإِيمَٰنِ ۚ وَمَن لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ﴿١١﴾

Enyi mlio amini! Wanaume wasiwadharau wanaume wenzao, wala wanawake wasiwadharau wanawake wenzao. Huenda hao wakawa bora kuliko wao. Wala msivunjiane hishima, wala msiitane kwa majina ya kejeli. Ni uovu kutumia jina baya baada ya kwisha amini. Na wasio tubu, hao ndio wenye kudhulumu.

This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
