Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it talebearing if I go to so-and-so and tell him what the other person said about him so that he can be on guard against him?
Answer:
If this is in the category of advice, if this is in the category of advice, then there is nothing wrong with it, because what is your intention? Is it to cause corruption? No, your intention is advice and reform. Yes, this is what appears to me, and Allah knows best. Yes.
