Yes, people are so nosey at times, it it is infuriating. And backbiting is allowed where you need help or advice, especially when you have been wronged. ofcourse, I do avoid mentioning names when i need advice. Dont want to end up  in hell!

Bismillah,

Dear Sisters,

If you do a forum search with the word hijab, you will find many discussions (and arguments) on the topic of hijab.

Backbiting is never allowed, AstagfirAllah.  Maybe you mean "discussing a situation that someone involved wouldn't like you to discuss" for the purpose of getting help or advice is allowed!

Dear sister,

Gheebah (backbiting) is forbidden. Buhtaan (slandering) and Nameemah (Backbiting to destroy relations) are totally forbidden... Below is article differentiating between all three.

But Gheebah is allowed in six genuine situations, please read article below for details.
http://63.175.194.25/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=bro%2 0wse&QR=7660&dgn=4


For nameemah, read article below:

http://63.175.194.25/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=bro%2 0wse&QR=26964&dgn=4


Allahu Aalam....
Wassalaam

Bismillah,

 "Similarly, if you speak about your brother or someone else to his guardian or to someone who is able to stop him from doing wrong � with the intention of voicing a grievance and asking for help, or because he has taken something from you unlawfully and you want to demand your rights from the guardian of the one who took what is rightfully yours, such as when a man complains about his brother to his father  if he has mistreated him or taken something that belongs to him, in order to have his rights restored to him, or complaining to a ruler or judge of unfair treatment � this is not gheebah. " (From your quoted web site.)

Why don't you start another thread and post your full article on this topic?  It's a nice link.

In English the word backbiting implies only evil and a different word and/or words should be used for clarification, in English, to help English speakers get the meaning intended.

Assalamu Alaikum:

From the website:

The sixth is for the purposes of identification: if a person is known by a nickname such as al-A�mash (rheumy-eyed), al-A�raj (lame), al-Azraq (blue), al-Qaseer (short), al-A�maa (blind), al-Aqta� (missing a limb) etc., this is permissible for purposes of identification, but it is haraam to use such names for the purpose of belittling a person, and if it is possible to identify them by using other words, this is better. And Allaah knows best.�

People call me Crazy Cat Lady..... I guess it could be excused as a way of identification....

That's rude.......they shouldnt call you that....

The sahabi Abu Hurairah (who has quoted most hadeeth)..his real name was  Abdur-Rahman. Since he was a cat lover, he used to be seen with a kitty on his sleeve. So Prophet (saw) lovingly nicknamed him with this kunya "Abu Huraira" meaning father of kitten.  Hardly anyone knows his real name, he is famous with this name! Many sahaba had other kunyas.

Assalamu Alaikum:

It's a joke that goes back to when I was young and my sister was predicting my future. She said I would end up one of those crazy cat ladies who live alone in a corner house with 75 cats. In America crazy cat ladies are famous....

She was pretty close. I'm not alone, and I don't have 75 cats, yet.....
