What is the law of fitnah?
What is the name of people who make fitnah?
Answer
One meaning of fitnah is when it is difficult for an individual to distinguish right from wrong. When you reach such a point then don't engage in that work until you are absolutely clear.
Fitteen.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
