Mentioning the faults of brothers to the parents for the sake of upbringing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on backbiting about brothers in front of the parents, and mentioning some of their faults for the sake of upbringing and reform?

Answer:
Meaning, you inform your parents that one of their children is doing such and such so that they can discipline him. This is a good thing. It is not backbiting; it is for a benefit. It is for a benefit and is not backbiting; it is from advice. Yes.
