Simply informing a brother or friend about feelings of injustice or harassment from a parent is not backbiting () and carries no sin, provided it does not involve slander (gheebah) and does not result in harm to them. Permissible complaint is not an act of disobedience to parents (uquq). Children are advised to be patient and enduring, and to obey their parents in matters that do not involve disobedience to Allah.
