Question:
The questioner, Ahmad from Yemen, asks: What is the ruling regarding one who engages in talebearing, backbites people, bears false witness, and confirms his testimony with false oaths? How should we deal with him?
Answer:
This is a combination of crimes. You should deal with him by advising him to repent to Allah, to abandon talebearing, to abandon backbiting, to abandon false testimony, and to abandon false oaths. These are serious crimes. Advise him to leave these things, remind him of Allah, and make him fear Allah the Exalted. Yes.
