Haram Haqiqatjou #63: Degrading a Woman with Slanderous Language

Background:
Recently, Haqiqatjou has called out others for insulting him and calling him names, rightfully so. In this tweet, Daniel Haqiqatjou refers to a Twitter user, MJ (@morganisawizard), as a “prostitute” and accuses them of potentially advocating for morally reprehensible actions in the future. The language used is vulgar and degrading, directed at an individual in a public forum.

Haram Action:
Slander and Insults: Referring to someone as a “prostitute” without evidence is buhtan (slander), which Islam forbids as a grave sin:
“And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses—flog them…” (Quran 24:4).
“And speak to people good [words].” (Quran 2:83).

Evidence of Haram:
Slander: Accusing someone without evidence is haram (Quran 24:4).
Vulgar Speech: Islam explicitly forbids obscene and degrading language (Tirmidhi).
Creating Discord: Public insults contradict Islam’s emphasis on unity and constructive dialogue (Quran 2:83).
