Backbiting

~ Question ~

My husband always backbites about my family to other people, I feel so bad but i can’t say anything because I want to avoid arguments. Please help me what could do or is there any Dua I can recite on his behalf.

~ Answer ~

It is a sin to backbite and it is considering as bad as eating the flesh of a dead brother, according to Quran.

Unfortunately, some people have developed the habit of speaking bad about others. You need to educate him about the topic. You may suggest him to read about backbiting and share clips about the topic. You can also share Islamic teachings about the right of family members..

Read Dua from (Surah Furqan Verse 74 ): Rabbana hub lana min azwajina wa zurriatina 10 times after each prayer and read Darood Shareef 10 times before and 10 times after the Dua.
