Question:
Is the expiation for backbiting supplication?
Answer:
Backbiting is an injustice against the servants of Allah. If they grant him permission and pardon him, or if he supplicates for them and mentions the good deeds he knows of them, and he repents to Allah and feels remorse, and he expiates for it by mentioning their good deeds and their righteous actions instead of their evil deeds; then it is hoped that Allah will pardon him.
