Ruling on visiting relatives if it is a place of backbiting and talebearing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You also say in this message: If our visiting of some gatherings leads to backbiting, talebearing, and idle talk, should we refrain from visiting?
Answer:
Yes. If the visit involves backbiting and talebearing, this visit is not permissible. However, if it is possible to advise the people in the gathering to abandon backbiting and talebearing, then the visit is required at that time because of the forbidding of evil and calling to good in it. If the man, or the woman, when the visit takes place, forbids the evil, calls to Allah, teaches those present, and they respond to him, this is good and contains much good. But if they do not respond and continue in backbiting and talebearing, what is prescribed for you, and what is obligatory upon you, is to leave at that time. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
