Question
Hello. Reuven consulted with Shimon regarding the appropriate educational framework for his children. Shimon suggested several ideas. Ultimately, Reuven went and consulted with a rabbi who is accepted by both Reuven and Shimon and received a clear answer on what the rabbi recommends. Is Reuven allowed to tell Shimon the rabbi's answer without obtaining permission from the rabbi to disseminate his answer? Is there an issue of lashon hara/gossip in this?
Answer
Hello
A clear decision on a non-problematic issue does not constitute gossip.
Of course, if the rabbi in his response expressed criticism or claims about one of the institutions, it is forbidden to publish without his permission.
