Revealing a man's flaws is not forbidden backbiting; rather, it is an obligatory counsel. It is not permissible for a Muslim to lie or swear falsely except out of necessity or for a legitimate Sharia interest, such as averting hardship or severance of kinship ties, provided that dissimulation (tawriya) is used.
