Backbiting on the grounds that the person being spoken about does not dislike it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people argue that a certain person does not dislike what is said about him, so they engage in backbiting him. Is this permissible?

Answer:
No, there is no one who does not dislike the faults spoken about him, ever. If he does not dislike it, it means he is not of sound mind. A person of sound mind does not accept being defamed or criticized. Yes.
