The questioner : His final question asks whether it is permissible to speak about people who commit forbidden acts and lewdness in their absence for the purpose of warning against them and their evil, and whether this does not fall under the forbidden backbiting?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for you to speak about the actions people perform in order to warn against them and warn against sitting with them, because actions are by intentions. As long as your intention is to free people or to warn people against their evil, then you have done good, and there is no blame on you in this. Yes.
