Question

Hello, I have a few questions: 1. I signed up for a gymnastics class and I don't know the teacher. A friend told me she didn't enjoy the class with this teacher. Is it permissible for me to attend the class and get to know this teacher? (regarding Lashon Hara) 2. Many years ago, I used a projector belonging to someone else, and a part of it got slightly damaged with me. I have been trying for years to reach the family and apologize, but I can't find them. They changed their phone number or something like that. What should be done in this case?

Answer

Hello and blessings 

A. There is no prohibition of Lashon Hara in this case. You can attend and see if you connect with the teacher. 

B. You should donate to a public organization that assists the community, and retrospectively it is considered as if you have returned the debt to them.
