Question
Hello, A man and his wife are deciding where to stay in the city they are visiting, and one of the options is his brother-in-law's house. Is it permissible for the man to tell his wife that he prefers not to stay there because his brother-in-law smokes and there is a smell of cigarettes, or would that be considered lashon hara?
Answer
Hello
This is not considered lashon hara.
He is not saying that the brother-in-law is bad, he is merely stating that he does not like the smell.
