The Expiation for Backbiting and Whether Supplication Is Sufficient
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a person backbites someone, is it sufficient to make supplication to get rid of this backbiting?
Answer:
It is not sufficient except that you seek reconciliation with him, if possible. You ask him for forgiveness. If that is not possible, or if you fear that it will increase his anger toward you and he will not forgive you, then you praise him. You praise him in the gatherings where you spoke ill of him. You praise him and make supplication for him. Yes.
