Question:
What is the ruling on those who pray with the congregation in the mosques, but they are occupied with gossip, slander, and talebearing about others?
Answer:
Their prayer with the congregation in the mosques is an obligatory duty that they have fulfilled, and praise be to Allah. As for backbiting people, that is another sin; they have another sin upon them. So they are doing well in the aspect of performing the prayer in congregation, and doing wrong in the aspect of backbiting people. They must repent to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
