Repentance from Backbiting and the Dropping of the Right of the One Backbitten
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If you give charity on behalf of everyone you have backbitten, or make du'a' (supplication) for them, and you have repented from the backbiting, will their right over you be dropped on the Day of Resurrection?
Answer:
In addition to repentance, it is necessary to seek his forgiveness if possible, asking for his pardon if possible. If that is not possible, then repentance and making du'a for him, making du'a for the one who was wronged, is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
