gossip or backbiting???

[Ashoka]

@TLK

Keeping in mind that gheebat is talking bad about someone when the bad stuff is true cause if it is not true then its not gheebat, its buhtan.

Here are the 3 times when you could share bad stuff about someone with others, behind that person’s back

1. If someone asks you about the character of a boy or a girl because they are planing to marry their kid with that person, you should tell the truth.

2. In the court of law, whether the person is present or not

3. When mentioning someone’s bad stuff saves the community from major fitna.

please provide a hadith reference supporting this.. thanks
