Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the food is salty, or the tea, for example, is bitter, and the husband leaves it and informs his wife or someone else of the reason so that it can be corrected later, is this considered backbiting about the food?
Answer:
If this is for a valid purpose, there is nothing wrong with it. He teaches her that it is salty, or that it is such and such, or that the tea, as you said, is bitter or something similar, so that she can correct the situation. There is no harm in that.
