Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Backbiting and talebearing are common in people's gatherings. Is it prescribed for me to withdraw from all of them?
Answer:
No, not every gathering of people contains backbiting and talebearing. Seek out pure gatherings, and if you do not find any, advise these people to abandon backbiting and talebearing. If they abandon it, then sit with them. Yes.
