Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks about backbiting a disbeliever: is it permissible?
Answer:
What is the benefit of backbiting a disbeliever if it involves reporting on him, his plots against Muslims, and his schemes against Muslims? Is this not backbiting? This is forbidding evil and serves the interests of Muslims. However, if he does no harm except to himself and nothing appears from him that affects the rights of Muslims, then he is left alone. Yes.
