A Muslim Speaks of What He Has Heard

Question
A lady complains about a group in her country that sells weapons, and all the townspeople know about it, but she has not seen it with her own eyes; she has only heard about it. Is she sinful for her actions?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the news comes from a group of trustworthy individuals, it takes the ruling of eyewitness testimony, and a person can speak of it as if they have seen it, and God knows best.
