Backbiting the Innovator

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it true that it is reported from the Salaf that there is no backbiting for an innovator?

Answer:
No, I have not known this from the Salaf. Backbiting is not permissible. If you want what is good for him, advise him regarding what he is upon. As for you mentioning him in the gatherings of people, this is not from advice; this is from backbiting.
