Reply To: Question in Hilchos Loshon Hora

Sam2 – Thank you for replying; I’m sorry, I didn’t understand what you wrote.

Let me rephrase the points:

Question 2: Why is it muttar to repeat loshon hora that was heard be’apei te’lasa if the person I am telling it to is not allowed to hear it? It should be assur because of lifnei iver. It sounds like you are answering that it is actually forbidden – but that just isn’t true. Did I misunderstand you?

Question 3: Why is an eid echad believed that loshon hora is l’toieles, but not believed that it avida ligluye? Both appear equally נגד אתחזק. I really don’t understand what you said to this one.
