Q4: I am, unfortunately, a man who has backbitten a great deal, and now I am deeply remorseful. The number of people I have backbitten is very large, and some of them have died. As for the living, I do not have the courage to apologize to them, and I am certain that some of them will be angry, and perhaps problems have arisen with them. What should I do?
A4: It is obligatory for you, along with repentance, to seek forgiveness from those you have backbitten if that is possible. If not, you should seek forgiveness from Allah on their behalf, make du'a' for them, and speak well of them. Perhaps that will suffice for you.
