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﴾

Enyi mlio amini! Jiepusheni na dhana nyingi, kwani baadhi ya dhana ni dhambi. Wala msipelelezane, wala msisengenyane nyinyi kwa nyinyi. Je! Yupo katika nyinyi anaye penda kuila nyama ya nduguye aliye kufa? Mnalichukia hilo! Na mcheni Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kupokea toba, Mwenye kurehemu.
