Question
Should I ask forgiveness from someone I spoke Lashon Hara about if I don't know whether they heard it?
Answer
Shalom Rav
The obligation to ask forgiveness from someone you spoke about does not depend on whether they heard it or not.
However, if the person does not know they were spoken about, and they would be more hurt if you tell them you spoke about them, it is forbidden to tell them.
