I have a question about whistle blowing in an organization. Whistle blowing is an activity wherby a person in an organization called whistle blower reports to higher authorities about a fraud or misconduct in an organization. Usually this person (whistle blower) would be from that same organization. I want to know what does Islam say about it? Please guide me in accordance with the directives of Quraan and Sunna.<\/p>\n
Every community has regulations to be obeyed and every community has people to make sure this will happen. A working community is by no means an exception. When a person agrees to work in an organisation, religiously the person is obliged to observe and follow the regulations of that organisation. <\/p>\n
If a person does not follow the regulations in the organisation and commits fraud, then this will be religiously wrong and will also bring disruption and injustice to the system.<\/p>\n
With the above view, the so called “whistle blower”, as you defined it, is doing nothing but upholding what is right and just by fighting against wrong and injustice. <\/p>\n
It is reported that the Prophet (sws) has said: \u201cWhoever among you sees (something that is generally known as) a bad (munkar<\/em>) evil, he should change it with his hand (by taking action); if he cannot, then with his tongue (by speaking out); if he cannot, then with his heart (by hating it and feeling that it is wrong), and that is the weakest of faith.\u201d (Muslim 70).<\/p>\n Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-13<\/p>\n
