The Ruling on Complaining About One of the People

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In our sister Zaynab Abdul Qadir's second question, she says: Is complaining about one of the people considered backbiting, knowing that I do not say what is not in him, nor do I incite against him, and I avoid talking about him a lot so that those around him do not dislike him? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
This is backbiting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When he was asked about backbiting, he said: Backbiting is mentioning your brother with what he dislikes.لما سئل عن الغيبة، قال الغيبة ذكرك أخاك بما يكره
regarding his absence. You should avoid that and not mention him with bad while he is absent. And if you have a right over him, then you seek your right from him and do not backbite there.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
