Opening someone's purse without their permission
Question
A relative who is famous for doing taweez, magic came to my home. Since I had curiosity, I opened her purse to check if its true. I saw a taweez there and closed the purse. What I did was without her knowledge. Now I have guilt feeling that it was wrong to open her purse without permission. If I tell her, she would get furious. What to do?
Answer
Make istighfaar, and in a general way ask her for maaf.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
