Definition of Backbiting
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
Answer
Backbiting is speaking ill of a person behind his back which if he heard would hurt or injure his feelings even if what was said about him was the truth; if what was said about him was untrue it is slander or false accusation. (Maariful Quran p.139 v.8)
