1455. PEOPLE WHOM ONE IS ALLOWED TO BACKBITE

4910.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : أربَعةٌ لَيست غِيبَتُهُم غِيبَةً: الفاسِقُ المُعلِنُ بِفِسقِهِ ، والإمامُ الكَذّابُ إن أحسَنتَ لم يَشكُرْ وإن أسَأتَ لم يَغفِرْ، والمُتَفَكِّهونَ بالاُمَّهاتِ ، والخارِجُ عنِ الجَماعَةِ الطاعِنُ على‏ اُمَّتِي الشاهِرُ علَيها بسَيفِهِ .1

4910.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Four types of people are such that talking about them behind their backs is not considered backbiting: the immoral person who makes a public display of his immorality; the dishonest leader who, even if you were to be good to would not appreciate you and if you were to be bad to would not forgive you; those who joke about their [and others’] mothers; and one who is a dissenter, who defames my community, and draws his sword against it.’2

4911.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : حتّى‏ مَتى‏ تَرعَوُونَ عن ذِكرِ الفاجِرِ ؟! اِهتِكُوهُ حتّى‏ يَحذَرَهُ الناسُ .3

4911.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Until when will you sidestep talking about the impudent person?! Disgrace him [through disclosing his insolent acts] so that people may be on their guard against him.’4
