Fake news, rumours and the duty to verify.
Allah says: "O you who believe, if a wrongdoer brings you news, verify it, so that you do not harm people out of ignorance and then regret what you did" (49:6). The Prophet ﷺ also said: "It is enough lying for a person to repeat everything he hears" (Muslim 5).
Online, a false message can travel to thousands of people in minutes. Before sharing, ask: Who said it? Is there a trustworthy source? Could it hurt someone? Would I say it to this person's face?
If in doubt, do not share. Lesson: your finger on the "share" button carries a responsibility.
