Back biting someone who is more sinful
Question
If anyone back bites another person but then the other person done more sin than the person who has back bited, and Allah knows that the person who has back bited has less sin than the other person, will Allah calculate to remove the sin for the person who back bited?
Answer
Any act that violates the command of Allah Ta`ala is a sin. So both are responsible for their sin. Both should make taubah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
