Is it permissible to speak about a non-Muslim?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is speaking about specific non-Muslims considered backbiting?

Answer:
If there is a religious benefit in warning against them, or in preventing people from following them or being deceived by them, then there is nothing wrong with it. However, speaking about them without any benefit is unnecessary.
