This includes their physical appearance, personality, clothing, family, background, status, or anything else connected with them. Backbiting can occur through speaking, writing, gesturing, or imitating.\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\\n\"},{\"attributes\":{\"background\":\"transparent\"},\"insert\":\"It is crucial to understand that these rules apply whether the person being criticized is alive or deceased, liked or disliked, famous or not well-known, as long as the listeners know the identity of the individual being discussed. Moreover, listening to slander and backbiting is just as impermissible as engaging in it, and it is the duty of individuals to speak out against such behavior if they hear it and are capable of condemning it.\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\\n\"},{\"attributes\":{\"background\":\"transparent\"},\"insert\":\"Therefore, if you are discussing your experiences with others, it is essential to avoid falling into the behavior described above. If someone's wrongdoing was done publicly, then it may be permissible to mention it, but if the action took place in private, it should not be publicized. You can share your experiences while ensuring the anonymity of the individuals involved.\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668da02b0b76658b4c232ff9","tag":"Relationships: Friend","count":52},{"_id":"66cd028b362bfeb5d620c8d6","tag":"Backbiting","count":12},{"_id":"66cd028b362bfeb5d620c8d9","tag":"Slander","count":1}],"createdOn":"2024-08-26T22:32:43.899Z"}
