Re: Punishment for those who do wrong
The point seems very logical however, it lacks the true Islamic understanding of back biting.
Gheebat and how it is defined is when you start propagating “bad” habbits/things of others which they “have” … otherwise, it becomes bohtaan…
talking about good things of others is not even gheebah…
and the classical example of gheebaa as Prophet:saw2: mentioned is when we talk about things that a person is characterized with but the person does not want it to be known to others…
Having said that, the three main exceptions to gheebah remain valid…
- about an unjust ruler so people are aware of it and work against such oppression
- when you want someone to be saved from a fitnah
- when someone needs opinion about someone for marriage and you know something bad about the person that may be a major concern.
