Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this person asks us: What is the expiation for the one who backbites and speaks ill of someone? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
You should seek his forgiveness if possible. If that is not possible, then you seek forgiveness from Allah for him and speak well of him in place of what you said in his absence. Yes.
