The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
If a husband and wife are exchanging their negative thoughts about, or experience with someone, would this be regarded as Gheebat? If so, how do they caution each other about someone’s habits?
Answer
If the exchanging of thoughts or experiences are regarding a third person who will dislike this, it will be Gheebat.
Such discussions should be abstained from at all times. What happened in the past is gone and forgotten. This might also lead to endless problems later on, in the form of enmity, jealousy and hatred.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
