Mentioning Faults of Female Servants in Women’s Gatherings
Question

                Ten women got together, and each of them complained about their (female) servants in specific terms. Is this gheebah (backbiting)?
Praise be to Allah.We put this question to Shaykh ‘Abd-Allah 
    ibn Jibreen (may Allah preserve him), who answered as follows: 
    
 This is gheebah, because there is no 
    benefit in complaining to other women in this manner. The employer has to 
    discipline and train her servant properly. If she wants to consult with 
    knowledgeable people (if there is a woman among them who has experience and 
    knowledge of such matters) about how she can discipline and train her 
    servant properly, then it is OK to mention the servant’s faults (because 
    there is a legitimate need to do so). 
 And Allah knows best.
