1 in 10 women spy on their spouse’s phone according to a UK-based research company.
Seeing as how this practice is becoming common, Dubai’s Grand Mufti has also chimed in and declared that this behavior is Haram, after news of a similar case surfaced in Ajman, UAE.
Woman Charged Under Article 212 in UAE
This news came to light after a woman in Ajman, UAE, was charged for snooping on her husband’s phone. The woman, who is in her thirties, is set to pay a hefty fine. But that’s not all, as she will also be deported for committing that offence.
Reports have not stated how much fine will be imposed but according to existing laws, it is expected to be somewhere between Dh 300,000 (PKR 0.6 million) to Dh 500,000 (PKR 10.4 million).
The man lodged a complaint with the Ajman court after he caught the woman transferring photos from his phone to her own through Whatsapp.
The women was found guilty under Article 212 along with the Cyber Crime Law which deals with the “use of a computer network and/or electronic information system or any information technology for the invasion of privacy of another person…”
Article 14 of the Cyber Crime Law also prohibits obtaining of any code or password, which can help unlocking any electronic site without consent.
The penalty for such acts involves imprisonment and as mentioned before, hefty fines ranging from Dh 300,000 (PKR 0.6 million) to Dh 500,000 (PKR 10.4 million).
Grand Mufti’s Fatwa
The Grand Mufti at the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai, Dr Ali Ahmed Mashael, said:
“Spying or checking on somebody else’s phone without permission is committing a forbidden act.”
He added that acts such as these lead to loss of confidence and it only increases the suspicion and mistrust among the couple. All this amounts to living a troubled life, he added.
Dr. Ali also stated that Muslims should avoid indulging themselves in things like this as “Islam has already deprived such misconducts even before human ordinances came into being. Religious instructions precede human laws.”

Nice propaganda. the fatwa clearly reads that its a rule for every, not at all limited to husband/wife/spouses. are you settling some vendetta? The Emirates story you linked to, DOES NOT say husband. It uses the word “spouse”, and it means any of the husband or wife.
When the Original Fatwa say Spouse meaning it’s for both Husband and Wife why do you have this headline?
OH let me guess! Who gives a crap as long as you get more clicks!
Just to make the post cheeky u added husband wife :D
Propakistani == stupidity with words
I spied on my boss’s phone once and got him fired. Later on he committed suicide and i patted his spouse on the back, does that make it look all halal now?
Clikbait, vendetta, more mirchi masala, more paisa.
Fatwa says “somebody” but you mentioned “husband” on purpose ya angrazi kamzoor ha?
could have been written better, plays on sensationalizing Islam…
Not only is this CLICKBAIT, but this will also WORSEN THE LIVES OF THE WOMEN whose husbands read this rather popular and misleading post, considering the mentality of our society. As if the the men didn’t have double standards already, you have now reinforced their beliefs by twisting the influential words of another. I wonder how you sleep at night while making such unethical posts, that impact the lives of the many. The 3000+ shares on Facebook is evident of how many people share such things on Facebook without a thought. This kind of irresponsible behavior led to Donald Trump winning by the way. SHAME ON YOU!
