Question
How should a person repent for having made gheebat? Is it necessary to seek forgiveness from the person?
Answer
If the person is aware of the gheebat, then it is necessary to ask forgiveness from him. If he is unaware, then only repent (Istighfaar), and make dua for the one about whom gheebat was made. If the targeted person is unaware, one should not create ill-feeling by informing him of the gheebat one had made.
