Backbiting of the Disbeliever
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is backbiting a disbeliever permissible, given the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) definition of it as “mentioning your brother with what he dislikes”?
Answer:
What is the benefit in backbiting a disbeliever? There is no benefit in it. Since there is no benefit, a person should not occupy himself with backbiting and talebearing. Saying “those are disbelievers” is not what befits the character of a Muslim. Yes.
