The Prohibition Of Interfering In Other People’s Affairs

Asking a recently married couple: When are u having a baby?
Asking a divorced sister why did u get divorced? 
Asking an unmarried sister when are u getting married? 
Asking a brother where did u get the money to buy your car?
And many other nosy and curious questions likewise!!!

Before asking such nosy questions remember Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Part of the perfection of someone’s Islam is his LEAVING ALONE that which does NOT CONCERN him.” [Hadith 11, An Nawawi, Tirmidhi]

Hassan bin Sinan, a Tabieen, once saw a house & asked a simple question: When was this house built? But he straightaway realized that he has asked something which does not concern him & as a punishment he fasted for a year! [Mentioned in Mukhtasar Minhaj Alqasideen]

Subhaan Allah he asked a simple question & regretted it yet we ask nosy questions about peoples personal lives yet we don’t feel any shame
