Cutting Off Contact Without a Trace: An Islamic View on Ghosting

Assalamu alaikum, we all know ghosting is just a terrible thing to do to someone. But does Islam actually say anything about it? I mean, it can really mess with people's heads and feel like manipulation. So my question is, does our deen address those who just vanish on others, and is there any punishment for it in this life or the next? Jazakum Allah khair.

Ghosting is emotional abuse. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.' So yes, it's against our deen.

Brother, even if there's no specific hadith naming 'ghosting', the principle is clear: fulfill promises and don't betray trust. Ghosting breaks both.
