Question:
What is the ruling on backbiting the people of desires and religious innovations?
Answer:
There is no benefit in that, no benefit in backbiting them, except if the benefit is stronger, such that there are people who might be deceived by them. In that case, there is no harm, or rather, you should clarify their condition so that people are not deceived by them, as a form of advice to Allah, His Book, His Messenger, the leaders of the Muslims, and the common people. However, if this is done out of mere desire or malice, it is forbidden and not permissible.
