Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: We are university students, and when we want to register for a course with a professor, we ask one another about this professor. Some praise him, and some do not praise him. He asks: Is this action backbiting?
Answer:
Yes, this is a teacher. Take the lesson from him and register for the subject with him. If he is such and such in his own mind, that is none of your concern. Yes.
