Laws of Lashon Hara / 10: 3-4 – 74
- The authorization to speak lashon hara about another who has committed a misdeed is only if the speaker himself is not guilty of this same misdeed. If the speaker himself commits these same deeds – he is forbidden to speak about how another has committed these misdeeds as his intention in doing so is definitely not constructive but to shame his fellow.
4. Even when there is a constructive purpose, the authorization is only when the listeners can help the victim, will know to distance themselves from the subject, or to help the sinner himself – for when he hears how others condemn his action, he will repent. If not for one of the above, it is forbidden to speak lashon hara.
Every moment that prerson restrain him mouth he acquiting to the Hidden Light, that there is no Mal'ach and creation to be able Imagine.(Hagra letter)
