Expiation for one who backbites another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the expiation for backbiting, and is it sufficient to make du'a' for the one who was backbitten?
The expiation for backbiting, if your companion knows, is to go to him and ask his forgiveness. If he does not know, then the expiation is to seek forgiveness for him and to mention his good qualities in the gathering where you backbitten him; for good deeds erase bad deeds.
