Telling a true story without mentioning any names

Q 11: If I narrate a real story without mentioning names, is this considered Ghibah (backbiting)?


A: If it is abominable and there are no presumptions that define the people involved, this will not be Ghibah. However, if it encourages something evil or is an excuse for corruption, it will be Haram (prohibited), even if it is not Ghibah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
