Shaila: Is it permitted to speak lashon hora?

Teshuva: Many sources do say that LH is prohibited, including some that compare LH to the three cardinal sins. However, in that context, a question must be asked – why is LH, unlike the three cardinal sins, permitted at risk of life?

It would seem that the deep meaning of this rabbinic adage is that there will come a time when YCT rabbis will permit aspects of all three cardinal sins, such as abortions, worshiping modern idols such as liberalism and feminism, and promoting non-marital gender mingling. Having liberated themselves of these sins, LH will become permitted as well.

[P.S. for serious answers see the Shaarei Teshuvah.]
