Verse 49:12 states this about backbiting:
> Would one of you like to eat the flesh of **his** brother when dead?
Since it does not state his or her, does this mean the amount of sin a women receives for backbiting is less than what a man receives? In many places in the Quran when it talks about punishment and what is permissible, it refers to both women and men. For example, this is verse 24:2:
> As for **female and male** fornicators, give each of them one hundred lashes...
Verse 48:6 is another example that refers to both men and women:
> And [that] He may punish the hypocrite **men** and hypocrite **women**, and the polytheist **men** and polytheist **women**...
There are also versus that specifically refer to women, such as 24:4:
> Those who accuse chaste women ˹of adultery˺ and fail to produce four witnesses, give them eighty lashes each...
Since the Quran refers to men and/or women in other places, is the Quran only referring to men in regards to how much is sin is meted for backbiting?
