Question
A certain professional refers interested clients to me so that I recommend hiring his services. In my opinion, he does not perform his work properly. Since this professional is my partner in several economic projects, I will be severely harmed by him when he finds out (and he will certainly find out) that I recommend clients not to hire his services. What should I do?
Answer
Hello
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita, you should avoid answering and deflect the inquirers by claiming 'I am busy,' 'I don't have time right now,' etc.
However, you are forbidden to recommend him.
