Sue due to loss of reputation
Question
I have been exonerated by court for false accusations made by my in-laws. I lost my job, reputation, everything. Can I sue? What are my rights?
Answer
Suing because of loss of one's reputation is not permissible in Islam.
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.
