Question:
He says: If my father or someone else forces me to tell him what so-and-so said about him, does my informing him count as talebearing?
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible for you to tell him, and his asking you to do so is a sin. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator." It is sufficient for you to say, "I do not know, I do not know what I heard."
