H. E. Sayyed M. H. Fadlallah (ra) advises us not to readily accept negative speech about someone we know well. He argues that your direct, personal experience with a person is a more reliable source of truth than hearsay from others. Therefore, one should reject slander about a person whose righteous character they have personally witnessed.
