Question

I know that it is extremely sinful to backbite on other muslims. But is it also sinful to backbite on non-muslims as well?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

As it is sinful to backbite a Muslim, so too is it sinful to backbite a non- Muslim. However, if due to some reason a person has evil qualities or incorrect beliefs that would cause harm to others, then to forewarn people to protect them from such evil and wrong belief will not be considered as backbiting.
