Question: What are the conditions of tawbah (repentance) from gheebah (backbiting)?
Answer: The conditions of tawbah for backbiting are:
1. Feel sadness and some form of remorse for what was done.
2. Give it up.
3. Make up your mind never to repeat that act again
4. Try to seek forgiveness from the one who was backbitten if this is possible. However, if this will cause a greater confusion or a confusion similar to the wrong that was done, then it is better to stay away from that and instead supplicate for him until you feel that you have given him his due for what you have done wrongly to him.
