Is it considered backbiting to mention a true story without naming individuals?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the incident is negative and there are no clues to identify those involved, it is not considered backbiting (gheebah). However, it is forbidden to mention it if it incites evil or serves as a means of corruption, even if it is not backbiting.
