Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the method of repentance from backbiting? And is it necessary to seek the forgiveness of the one who was backbitten?
Answer:
Repentance is to turn away from backbiting and leave it. If he knows that the one who was backbitten will accept his apology, he should apologize to him. But if he knows that he will become angry or that he will not permit it, it is sufficient for him to make du'a for him and speak well of him, and this is sufficient. Yes.
