Is the animosity still ongoing due to a young man being falsely accused and slandered by girls who accused him, and does this affect the acceptance of his deeds? And how can he rid himself of the consequences of backbiting?
You erred by exercising in a mixed-gender club where there are things that violate Islamic law, such as the exposure of 'awrah (private parts), the mixing of men and women, and listening to music. What happened to you in terms of backbiting is from Satan.
You must perform a sincere repentance ( Nasuh) and seek forgiveness from those you backbit. Repentance is beloved by Allah and expiates all sins.
Sincere repentance is regretting what has passed, abstaining from sins, and making a firm resolve not to return to them, along with seeking forgiveness from those who have been wronged.
Do not neglect apologizing to those you backbit on the pretext that it is impermissible to speak to women. The prohibition came for that which leads to fitna (temptation), such as speaking in a soft or alluring manner.
