Azeez Ibn Azeez Ibn is it Backbiting If You Tell a Story That Happened Even If You Do not Mention the Names of the People Involved?

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah li’l-Buhooth al-‘Ilmiyyah wa’l-Ifta [26/15] .

If I tell the story of something that happened without mentioning any names, is that regarded as backbiting?.

Praise be to Allaah. If it is an unpleasant story and there information that could identify the people involved, then it is not backbiting; but if it will provoke trouble or lead to bad consequences, then mentioning it is haraam for that reason, even if it is not backbiting. And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.
