Seeking Forgiveness and Pardon from the Shaykh for Backbiting Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: I ask for your permission, may you be respected, and I ask you to supplicate for forgiveness and success for me, because I have backbitten you in several gatherings. Now I am repenting to Allah, so please forgive me?
The Shaykh : If this man or anyone else backbitten me for religious reasons, meaning he saw that I made a mistake in a matter and backbitten me for that, then in any case, it is forgiven.
But if he backbitten me without verification, what do I say?
I say: This is a matter for consideration, and I do not say: May Allah forgive him, and I hope for forgiveness from Allah?
Second: If Allah forgives everyone who backbitten me, and I ask Allah the Exalted to treat me and him with His forgiveness, and he is free from any obligation toward me. Yes.
The questioner : Last question
The Shaykh : Last question, okay, perhaps Allah will make another question come after this.
