[00:00:02]is Is it considered backbiting or to complain about a person's public behavior in a private group chat, or does the public nature of the action change the ruling? Allah says in the Quran la you have a lot of Jahar in Al Allah Muhammad Allah does not approve, does not love that you pronounce, that you announce something bad except for those who are oppressed.

[00:00:38]So, if someone oppressed you, you have the right to expose him to the masses. This is not backbiting.

[00:00:47]If someone steals my money You say, "I can't go to the police. Why?

[00:00:53]This is backbiting."

[00:00:55]Then show me where you live.

[00:00:58]That's a good catch, mashallah. If someone attacks you, you can complain.

[00:01:04]So, Reba is mentioning others against the things they like if it has no justification.

[00:01:14]Someone comes to me and says Sheikh, I want to give my daughter to XYZ in marriage.

[00:01:24]What do you think? And I know XYZ is a drug drug addict or a womanizer or doesn't pray in the masjid.

[00:01:32]I say, "No, backbiting."

[00:01:34]Yeah, yeah, inshallah it's good.

[00:01:36]After 1 year he comes to me, "Sheikh, what have you done to me?

[00:01:40]The man doesn't pray, he does this, he does that." This is my fault.

[00:01:44]I have to clear it. And this is what the prophet did Islam. When one of the female companions came to her to him and she said, "Two men proposed to me.

[00:01:55]Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm.

[00:01:59]and Abu So who should should I marry?

[00:02:04]He said, "Muawiya is broke. He doesn't have money."

[00:02:08]This is not backbiting. No, it's not.

[00:02:10]She's seeking advice. And Abu is a person who always keeps the stick on his back.

[00:02:17]Either meaning he travels a lot, he puts his stick with his back, and he travels a lot, so he's not home, or he beats women with a stick.

[00:02:27]And the first is most likely.

[00:02:30]But marry Usama ibn Zayd.

[00:02:33]And she married him and she fell in love with him and she was very very happy. So if someone does wrong to you, takes your money, a brother comes and takes money from me as a loan, and I say, "Akhi, give me my money. Give me my money back." He's not replying, he's not apologizing.

[00:02:52]It gives me the right to go to everybody say, "Hey, he took my money and he's not giving it back."

[00:02:57]This is not backbiting. This is halal.
