And also there's another type of justice or spying that occurs. And
that is you're sitting in the masjid or at a house or something,
and you hear two people talking, and you intentionally, you know,
stay put and keep listening. And you hope maybe you'll get some
information, maybe we'll get some juicy details of what's going on.
This is a type of to justice or spying that is prohibited. Now,
mind you that we have in our religion,
etiquette and manners on how to talk in public and how to talk in
private. When you are in public. If you're in any public room, you
should not be speaking of private matters, because you should expect
that anyone can show up and just join the table, sit on the table,
and sit with you guys. Okay, and enter the conversation. Now, if
you say if you all get silent, as soon as someone walks in, have you
ever had that experience, you're sitting with a group of guys,
okay, you're sitting with a group of guys or what have you. And then
all of a sudden, someone shows up or you you show up, and then all
of a sudden everyone goes silent, and it gets really awkward. Well,
this is highly, highly discouraged, and it bad manners.
And it's called this is even counts as other an ever any hurt
feeling of a Muslim, okay, is considered a minor sin. So even if
it's that minor, literally. So if you're in public, you should not
be engaging in a private conversation. If you want to
engage in a private conversation, you have to make it clear that
it's private by going somewhere else, far away from people.
Because anytime you have a private conversation in the midst of
people in a large group, the large group will naturally think that
something's odd is happening or like you're talking about them.
Likewise, if there are a group of people that speak a language, and
not everyone else does, those two people should not
talk should not speak in that language, or else everyone else
will think they're talking about them. Okay? Especially if there's
three people and two people all of a sudden break out in order to
what I mean, I see this all the time. I'm like, What do you have,
you know, o'clock at all? Okay, I'm going to start learning what
to do. Okay, in that case, so don't do this. And Arabs do it
too. Alright. Not like everyone does it right, that you start
talking in this in your own language, and you're leaving a
third person out and why do we have to say this because in
America, you get five Muslims, you're gonna have three or four
nationalities right there, right? You get four or five Muslims and
you're gonna have different nationalities even you might get
all Americans but they have their own little cultures subcultures
within being American. And if you're in a small group, you
should not we should be cognizant of making anyone feel left out.
Okay? Being anyone feel left out and if we're doing this
accidentally May Allah forgive us.
