If a person is known to steal and works for someone, is it permissible for someone who knows about this to inform the employer of the worker's character, especially if they know the person has not repented, or if they are unsure whether the person has repented?
Answer
In the name of Allah, there is no obligation to inform the employer about the worker's character. Allah knows best.
