\n\tAnswered by: <\/strong>Maulana Javed ibn Nazir Kachhalia<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHave I committed the sin of gheebat if I ask my sister "why mum is angry?" and I know that it's because of person X and then my sister says "person X was rude which caused Mum to be angry. I'm a little confused as to when a sin is gheebat and it'd be nice if you could elaborate on when it is NOT gheebat.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAllah SWT has mentioned in the Qura’an:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u0648\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064e <\/span>\u06da<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd do not spy or backbite one another. Will any of you loveto eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it. And be wary of Allah;indeed Allah is all clement, all merciful. (Hujurat 49, V12)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIts been written in the books of Tafseer about a hadith in regards to the above verse.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAbu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (<\/em>\ufdfa<\/em>) said, "Do you know what is backbiting?" The Companions said: "Allah and His Messenger know better." Thereupon he said, "Backbiting is talking about your (Muslim) brother in a manner which he dislikes." It was said to him: "What if my (Muslim) brother is as I say." He said, "If he is actually as you say, then that is backbiting; but if that is not in him, that is slandering."[Muslim].<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSo from the above hadith and verse we come to know the definition of backbiting and also slandering.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn regards to your query, your situation and scenario doesn’t fall under the category of backbiting, Insha’Allah.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf we have backbitten about someone, its mentioned in Tafseer Ibn Kathir:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“The majority of the scholars have mentioned that repentance for the committing the sin of backbiting is that one refrains from backbiting by having a firm intention of not to do it again and ask Allah to be forgiven and also to forgive the person who we have backbitten” (Tafseer Ibn Kathir, Surah Hujurat)<\/strong><\/em> <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
