I told somebody that I don’t like from a sunnah dae that he sometimes posts photos of his food on his Facebook page because some people who can’t afford it might envy him or be jealous of him, but I also said before the speech that I didn’t mean to discredit his work by any means. Is this considered backbiting and should I repent for doing this?
