Is informing one's mother about the annoying behavior of one's maternal aunt considered backbiting?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the aunt's action is forbidden, advise her secretly first. If she does not respond and informing your mother would be beneficial, then inform her so she can advise and guide her. This is not backbiting, for backbiting is conveying the aunt's words that are harmful to the mother.
