Re: What is back-biting?
This is what i found on an islamic site about the Definition of backbiting
*Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said *:"Do you know what backbiting is?" They said, "God and His Messenger know best." He then said, "It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike." Someone asked him, "But what if what I say is true?" The Messenger of God (PBUH) said, "If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true then you have slandered him." **
*Backbiting and slander is so widespread that it has become the topic of people’s meetings and an avenue for expressing their anger, misgivings and jealousy. Those who indulge in backbiting are oblivious of the fact that they are only harming themselves. This is because of the fact that on the Day of Resurrection both the wrongdoer and the wronged will stand before God, Who is the Just Judge, God will then give this wronged person from the good deeds of the person who wronged him in accordance with his wrong by backbiting. *
Some situations allow us to inform others of what someone has done. It is allowed for us to inform the authorities when someone does injustice to us or others. It is allowed for us to inform someone who can help a perpetrator from committing further vice. It is also permissible for us to tell whoever seeks our advice on a person for business dealings or marriage. In this case it is not allowed for us to hide what we know about the person so that the enquirer will not be deceived. All these types of speaking about others are lawful.
Islam teaches us that if people are being ridiculed or backbited in our presence, we should defend their honor. If we neglect this, we shall deprive ourselves of ever needed help and mercy from God - *If a man's Muslim brother is slandered in his presence, and he is capable of defending him and does so, God will defend him in this world and in the next. But if he fails to defend him, God will destroy him in this world and the next. (Baghawi). *What will we do the next time we are tempted to backbite or hear slander in our presence? Right now the choice is ours!
We ask God the Most High, the All Powerful, to teach us that which will benefit us, and to benefit us by that which we learn. May God grant blessings and peace to our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his family and companions.
And how to deal with backbiting?
i think best way is to confront such a person.
Re: What is back-biting?
^^exactly right. Saying something about someone that they would not like is backbiting, even if its the truth.
Your intentions determine if its a gossip, exchange of views or backbiting.

Re: What is back-biting?
For me back-biting is when ppl talk about you behind your back instead of telling it straight to your face....and I am sure we all do it!

Now if I go tell someone that you can't spell properly or think that the teenage text-lingo looks cool, that would be considered backbiting. But if I say it to your face, that would be considered rude. I am guilty of taking the second route mostly, and being labelled rude. Perhaps which is why people backbite in the first place.
Re: What is back-biting?
but beeing rude is better than backbite.
I prefer someone telling me on my face wht he/she thinks rather than hearing it from 3rd parties.
Re: What is back-biting?
You, for one, should know I do that LP. People hardly like that though, admit it.
