E-Haram or No Haram?

[Colonel_Hardstone]

A Revert Sister is trying to find like minded Reverts to learn Islam with and share her experiences. She stumbles upon a forum and meets some other Revert Sisters who are engaged in dawah activities.

She tells her husband that she has finally found a good bunch of Sisters so she is very happy.

As time passes, she becomes suspect that something is wrong with this group…She talks to her husband but because her Islamic knowledge is fairly limited she is unable to describe the stuff fully.

She tells her husband to “take her USERID and PASSWORD” and check out the private Sister’s section and assures him that there is nothing personal or explicit in there.

Husband refuses to do this.

It keeps bugging the Sister so she nags her husband and forces her husband to “sneak into” Sisters section and check it out so he accepts and does it. Husband discovers that the Dawah group isn’t propagating true Islam so he explains to his wife and she leaves it and says, “I told that something was wrong” : - )

Is the action of the husband E-Haram? Or he has done nothing wrong because he was trying to look after his wife’s Eeman? She had no other Sister to chek the stuff out on her behalf...

Why couldn't the sister just describe in detail what was being said on that forum, to her husband.

Lesson learned: People should stick to SF for reliable Islamic info

It raises some interesting issues about privacy vs Safety of Eeman in cyber-space. Moreever how many husbands/wives are sitting around and watching the laptop when their spouses are browsing the private sections of Islamic forums?

I have seen this trend outside of islamic forums as well, including email, and social networking websites such as facebook where muslim sisters limit their information to "sisters only," yet this information is being viewed by the sisters in the company of other men. I have also seen shared passwords and accounts where the partner logs on just to see what their spouse is up to. So I have my doubts and try not to share too much information with anyone, better to be safe than sorry.

I was wondering though, if a muslim woman shares certain information trusting the medium to be safe and private, but another person betrays the trust, would that be her fault for sharing the information in the first place?

Most sister's discuss their friends to their husband's and vice versa... the description is that vivid, it's a though the husband can see the woman, Mrs is talking about, Naoozobillah.

When and If, (now think very carefully before if you really need to ask him, there should be other sisters around you can ask!!) there is something you are in dying need to discuss with your husband (about a nah mehram woman for him) keep it discreet, as that other woman is your sister, her Pardah is your pardah, keep to the Hiyaah.
