Yusuf Chambers: Next question, what are the dangers of backbiting and gossip mongering during the month of Ramadhaan?

Dr. Zakir: One of the major sins in Islam, it is slandering and backbiting.

And Allah says in the Quran in Surah Humazah ch. no. 104 verse no. 1

“Waylun likulli humazatin lumaza”

“Woe to every kind of backbiter and slanderer!”

That you have to woe to everyone who backbites and slanders.

And Allah says in the Quran in Surah Hujuraat ch. no. 49 verse no. 12 that

“Avoid suspicion because sometimes suspicion is a sin. Do not speak ill about anyone behind their back. Are you ready to eat the meat of your dead brother?”

And Allah continues and says that

“Nay! You’d abhor it.”

Here Allah gives an example of a person who backbites; it is as though he is eating his own brother.

Now eating the meat of your own brother is haraam and further it says eating dead meat, eating dead meat is also haraam. So if you backbite you are committing a double sin. Not only eating the meat of your brother, eating the flesh of your dead brother.

So it is a very grave sin. And our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said, it’s mentioned in

Sahih Muslim Vol. no. 4 (Book of Birr Was Silaah) Hadith no. 6265 where

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) asks that Sahaba that “Do you know what is backbiting?” They say that “the Messenger of Allah knows the best” so Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) says that “If a person speaks about somebody else behind his back which he would not have liked, that is called as backbiting.”

Speaking about somebody behind his back which the person would not like is called as backbiting. So one of the Sahabas he asked that “O Prophet what if the thing I’ve spoken is the truth or the fault which is mentioned does exist in the person” so the Prophet said that “If what you’ve spoken is the truth and the fault does exist, it is called as backbiting otherwise it is called as slandering.”

So backbiting is a great sin. There’s another Sahih Hadith mentioned in

Sunan Abu Dawud Vol. no. 3 in the Book of Manners Hadith no. 4857 where

“Hazrat Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) wife of the Prophet she speaks about Safiya and says that she is such a such thing meaning she’s short stature. The Prophet immediately says that “what you have said! If your words were mixed in the sea, it would spoil the full sea.”

Further it’s mentioned in

Sunan Abu Dawud Vol. No. 3 in the Book of Manners Hadith no. 4860, where it’s mentioned

“Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) he says that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said when he was taken up to heaven that he saw some people whose nails were made of copper and they were scratching their faces and their breast and when he asks that “who are these people?” So the reply was “These are the people who backbited.”

Indicating that backbiting is a grave sin and it is one of the major sins which people should abstain from and many of us they do it unknowingly not realizing that it’s a grave sin we should abstain from it and the Prophet also said

It’s mentioned in Sahih Bukhari Vol. No. 8 in the Book of Manners, Hadith no. 6056

“A rumor-monger, he shall not enter Paradise”
