Reminding a repentant person of his sin after his repentance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some people, when they hear that their Muslim brother has fallen into disobedience and sin, speak about him. And after a while, if that person repents, some people continue to speak about him and remind him of his sin.

Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. This is not permissible. It is not permissible for you to speak about him. If you have goodness and love for him, then advise him. But if you backbite him, that is not permissible. This is backbiting. This is backbiting, and it does not have any effect. Yes.
