Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on those who pray with the congregation in the mosques but are preoccupied with gossip, backbiting, and slandering in the last two rak'ahs?
Answer:
Their prayer with the congregation in the mosques is an obligatory duty, and praise be to Allah. As for slandering people, that is another sin; it is another sin upon them. They are doing well in the aspect of performing the prayer in congregation, but they are doing wrong in the aspect of backbiting about people. They must repent to Allah the Exalted.
