Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it true that some scholars mentioned that backbiting breaks the fast in a real sense, and that it is obligatory for him to make it up?
Answer:
I do not know of anyone who said this, except perhaps some of the self-proclaimed scholars of the present day, and Allah knows best. However, I know that some have said that backbiting necessitates an expiation. Yes.
