Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to enumerate the faults of one of the brothers to the other brothers with the intention of seeking redress?

Answer:
I mean, if he is a judge and wants to give him his rights against the oppressor, there is no harm. But if he is an ordinary person, there is no benefit in mentioning the faults of others to him. This is backbiting with no benefit behind it. Yes.
