The Expiation for Backbiting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh, what is your guidance for a Muslim who backbites someone? How does he make expiation for this backbiting, especially if he disparages him in gatherings or in certain matters?

Answer:
He should praise him in the same gatherings where he backbited him. He should repent to Allah and praise him in the gatherings where he backbited him. Yes.
