What is Backbiting (Geebat) ? ?












  Question :

What is the proper definition of 'backbiting'? Please, give some references from the Quran and Hadith also.
Answer :
Backbiting means “speaking ill of a believer in their absence with the purpose of disparaging or not, and no matter whether the alleged shortcoming was related to his body, lineage, behaviour, deeds, statements, religion, or life, and other defects which are [usually] concealed from the people. Similarly, it does not matter whether the description was done by words or by gesture.”42
Ayatullah Sistani
