GHEEBAT (BACKBITING) AND ITS TREATMENT: 22 (a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB)

 However, if you have such a close friendship with someone that you are certain that if he hears what you are saying he won’t mind, rather he would laugh at it and enjoy it, then it is permitted to say such words both to a person’s face and behind his back. 

 

Summary

 

In summary, there are three scenarios. The first is that you are certain that if the person hears these words he will feel upset, in that case it is not permitted in Shariah to say such words. The second scenario is that you are not sure but you suspect that if the person hears what you are saying, he will feel upset, then this is also not permitted. The third scenario is that you are absolutely certain that if the person hears what you are saying, he won’t mind, then this is permitted. May Allah Ta’ala grant us the determination and motivation to protect ourselves from Gheebat. Aameen

SEEKING FORGIVENESS FOR GHEEBAT (BACKBITING)? - 7 (a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB)

  Seek forgiveness from all your acquaintances   The next question is, who to seek forgiveness from? Who remembers how many people’s  Gheebat  we committed throughout our lives when we were completely neglectful about it? Should we draw up a list of all of them and ask all of them for forgiveness? Hadhrat Mufti Muhammad Shafi (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say that Paradise is not cheap. If you really want to go to Paradise then you will have to make some effort for it. Draw up a list of all your acquaintances, all your friends, all your relatives, and then seek forgiveness from all of them.
