What is the ruling on circulating in gatherings conversations that are of no benefit, such as delving into sexual matters, romantic relationships, and private marital affairs, and does this entail a punishment?

A Muslim is responsible for their time and life, and they must be cautious not to waste their life on that which is of no benefit, for they will be questioned about it on the Day of Resurrection. Among the characteristics of the believers is turning away from idle talk and falsehood, and refraining from forbidden acts such as backbiting, slandering, divulging secrets, especially those related to marital relations, or openly committing immoral acts. Gatherings that delve into these matters are in grave danger and will be a source of regret for their participants on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, one must repent and seek forgiveness, and advise the people of these gatherings or abandon them.
