Question:
Abu Abd al-Rahman, among his questions, says: If my father or someone else forces me to tell him what a certain person said about him, does my telling him count as talebearing?
Answer:
Yes, it counts as talebearing, and he should not tell him. Asking for this from the father is considered a sin. This is backbiting, and there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. Yes.
