Question

Would I be wrong if I anonymously tip off my ex-employer to investigate a suspected relationship between a CEO and collegue at my old place of work? The reason I ask is to try and end a relationship that I suspect my sister in-law is having with a CEO at my previous workplace. He is a married man...his wife is still in SA, while he is working in Namibia. We are Muslim, what does Islam advise regarding suspicion of zina?

Answer

If they are involved in some indecent activity they must be stopped. Don't disgrace them and embarrass them.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
