Do not read the letters of others if a letter is not intended for

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

you do not read it. So there's privacy issues here. And people

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

sensible people know that. But from a Sharia perspective as well,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

it's an Amana, you are not allowed to read somebody else's letter

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

just like it's not right to eavesdrop on someone, it's the

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

same thing to read their correspondence. So if somebody's

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

gave you their phone to use or whatever, and then they went out

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26

somewhere for whatever reason, you can start looking at their

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

browsing history, for example, or their WhatsApp messages. And you

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

know, some phones they have they pop up the message, the next

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37

message or whatever, and you should avoid, it should be

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

avoided. It's all about personal discipline. This case, whether

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

somebody finds out or not, is not the point. It's all about a

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

personal discipline. It's all about personal accountability. And

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

the more we are more personally accountable to ourselves for these

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

things when nobody else is looking. That is how much closer

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

we'll be to Allah subhanho wa Taala because we only do it for

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

the sake of Allah subhanaw taala because Allah is watching
