Kata Imam Ghazali, dosa perbuatan mengumpat (ghibah) adalah lebih berat daripada 30 kali berzina, manakala dosa fitnah setara dengan jenayah pembunuhan. Sebuah hadis daripada Jabir dan Abi Sa’id menyebut bahawa Rasulullah SAW bersabda, maksudnya: “Awasilah perbuatan mengumpat, kerana mengumpat lebih berat daripada zina. Sesungguhnya orang berzina yang bertaubat akan diampunkan oleh ALLAH SWT, manakala orang yang mengumpat tidak akan diampunkan dosanya sehingga dia dimaafkan oleh orang yang diumpat.
