Backbiting the Open Sinner

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Likewise, may Allah preserve you, is it permissible to backbite the open sinner?

Answer:
Likewise, what is the benefit in this? You must engage in sincere advice; you must give him sincere advice. As for backbiting him, it is of no benefit. Yes.
