According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the principle of Verifying News, or Tabayyun (التبين), is a foundational pillar of Islamic ethics derived from Quran 4:83. This verse explicitly rebukes those who hastily broadcast any information related to public security or fear. Instead, as Imam Ibn Kathir explains in his tafsir, Allah commands believers to refer such critical matters to the Messenger (ﷺ) and 'those in authority'—the scholars and leaders competent to investigate and extract the correct meaning (istinbat). This divine protocol is not merely about fact-checking; it is a sophisticated system for maintaining social stability and preventing the chaos that arises from rumors and misinformation. Contemporary scholars affirm that this Quranic directive provides the essential framework for responsible communication and media ethics in the modern digital age.
