11. Fatal sin No. 76: Spying on muslims and revealing their imperfections In this matter there is the occassion when 'Umar wanted to kill Hatib Ibn Abi Balla'a but the Prophet forbade him for the former was one of those who witnessed Badr.

If the spy knows that culmuny is a fatal sin he should know that culmuny of a spy is much bigger and greater.
