Question:
One of the sisters says, may Allah bless you, what is the ruling on sitting in gatherings of backbiting and talebearing? And do dire necessities have rulings?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sit in a gathering where there is backbiting or talebearing, except for the purpose of advising them to leave off backbiting and talebearing. If they do not comply and continue, then he should not sit with them, because if he sits with them, he shares in their sin. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
