Gheebah means to slander. If one needs to speak negatively about another person behind their back without the intention of degrading or defaming them, it’s not considered gheebah.

I have heard that it means to speak of your brother in a way that he does not like. If it is true then it is backbiting. If it is false then it is slander.
But is this always to do with revealing a hidden thing? Or if something is already known does it count as gheebah?

Talking about ridiculing another people- this completely depends on the atmosphere of the situation right? I’ll give an example. My friends are from Bangladesh and we often joke about how they eat a lot of fish. There is a long backstory to this but basically we say that Bangladeshis ARE fish. Everyone laughs including them. Is this ridiculing another people that is haraam?
