In what places is backbiting permissible?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What are the places where backbiting is permissible? How many are there? And what are they?

Answer:
Some scholars have defined them as six places:
Censure is not backbiting in six cases:
For the complainant, the identifier, and the one who warns,
And for the one who displays open sinfulness, the one seeking a ruling, and the one
Who seeks assistance in removing a wrong.
