Viewing someones files on a computer without the owners permission
Question
I would like to know if this is correct.
There is a person who lent me his computer. I connected to my internet account from his computer and by closing the session I forgot to disconnect my account from his computer. Is it allowed for the owner of the computer to view my files which are stored on Google Drive? Does this person have the right to go to consult my Google Drive account without my knowledge and without having my permission or authorization?
Answer
It is wrong for him.
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.
