Haram Haqiqatjou #31: Lying that Suhaib Webb Did Not Apologize for Playboy Noor Tagouri Article Retweet
Background
Haqiqatjou has critiqued and attacked Suhaib Webb’s involvement in the dawah scene for many years. In this latest installment, Daniel accuses Webb of promoting the lewd magazine, Playboy, by retweeting an article in which a Muslim female appeared. In a public confrontation at Maryam Masjid in Houston, Texas, Webb did not apologize for his retweet of the Playboy article. However, the next day, Webb released a video on his YouTube channel apologizing for sharing the article, recognizing his mistakes, and requesting Muslims’ forgiveness.
Haram Action
In a live stream on his Muslim Skeptic YouTube channel a few days after Webb’s public apology, Haqiqatjou lied and slandered Suhaib Webb, claiming repeatedly that Webb has never taken back or apologized for his mistakes. Has Haqiqatjou ever recanted a public mistake? Has Daniel held himself to account for his slander and lies, or does he lack theadab and ethics required to publicly apologize for what the Qur’an terms, “eating the flesh of his Muslim brother.”
Evidence of Haram
What is worse than slander, is continuing your slander after the individual being slandered publicly addresses your accusation.
The Prophet PBUH said: “Be chaste and your women will be chaste; honor your parents and your children will honor you; and if someone apologizes to his Muslim brother for something he heard about him and he does not accept his apology, he will not come to me at the Cistern.”
The Messenger of Allah PBUH said: “If a man makes an excuse to his brother and he does not accept it, he will bear a burden of sin like that of the maks collector [a tax of levy].”
