Is talking about a specific person and narrating what happened concerning them considered backbiting (gheebah), especially if it is for the purpose of seeking advice?

Speaking about someone's character has a ruling that varies depending on the speaker's intention. If it is with something the person dislikes, then it is forbidden backbiting (gheebah). If it is with something they do not dislike, or there is no offense in it, then it is permissible. Forbidden backbiting is permissible in certain situations, including seeking advice regarding dealing with a person or marrying them.
