Yes. Allah compares backbiting to eating the flesh of one's dead brother (49:12). The Prophet ﷺ explained that it is mentioning your brother in a way he dislikes.
О те, которые уверовали! Избегайте многих предположений, ибо некоторые предположения являются грехом. Не следите друг за другом и не злословьте за спиной друг друга. Разве понравится кому-либо из вас есть мясо своего покойного брата, если вы чувствуете к этому отвращение? Бойтесь Аллаха! Воистину, Аллах - Принимающий покаяния, Милосердный.
Hadith
Sahih Muslim 2589
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:Do you know what is backbiting? They (the Companions) said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Backbiting implies your talking about your brother in a manner which he does not like. It was said to him: What is your opinion about this that if I actually find (that failing) in my brother which I made a mention of? He said: If (that failing) is actually found (in him) what you assert, you in fact backbited him, and if that is not in him it is a slander
This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
