It is not good to talk to people about someone who did wrong to you, unless you have no other way to stop the wrong but seeking help from people by telling them.
If your telling people will not change the situation, it can be also a type of back-biting unless this person who wronged you is doing it openly and is insisting on doing the wrong to you. Allah SWT says : Allah does not like the wrong should be uttered in public but by him who has been wronged)(Sura 4, Verse 148). If the
person who did the wrong insisted on doing the wrong on you and there
is no way to stop his wrong acts against you but to talk to others who
might help, then it will be allowed.
if a person is openly a sinner, unjust or oppress other people, he is considered a wrongdoer (zalim).
If a person consciously, willingly and openly fights the truth, while knowing that it is the truth, it is disbelief (kufr) or apostasy (irtidad).
If a person reveals what a Muslim person hide from his sins, it is called backbiting (ghibah).
So the basic difference is that declaration of zulm, kufr and apostasy are related to open attitudes and behaviors while backbiting is related to something that a Muslim person wish to conceal about himself.
As far as the Khawarij, their enmity against Ali, peace be upon him, has been seen as an aversion for the truth even if it is not improbable that among their ranks were also unaware people misled by their leaders.
There are many narrations both in Shia and Sunni books stating that the person who back bites a Momin will lose part of his good deeds to the victim, and in case that his good deeds are less, part of the bad deeds of the victim will be transferred to him.
Backbiting is a major sit which mentioned in Quran as eating the flesh of your dead brother. (And do not backbite each other, does any one from you like eating the flesh of his dead brother, then you will hate him).
Backbiting is (Mentioning any Momin with anything which he / she does not like to be mentioned). If it was a true, then it s backbiting, but it was untrue then iy will be allegation which more dangerous.
Repenting from backbiting is Must otherwise it will lead to hellfire.
As it is a sin concerning others, we must seek pardon from them and request them to sincerely forgive us. If this is not possible either if the person is no more alive or he is not contactable a all or it might be more harmful to inform him, then we need to pray for him and gift him good deeds which will make him in the Day of Judgment forgive us.
