- We know that *Lashon Hara L'toelet*, for a positive purpose is allowed (under certain guidelines). For example, if I am helping someone not lose money by telling them that a person is a swindler, that is totally fine.
- My question is: is this *hutra* or *dechuya*?
- Meaning, is the Issur of Lashon Hara pushed off, or completely removed?
- One practical difference would be whether I should limit the amount of words/ sentences I use.

Is Lashon Hara L'toelet Hutra or Dechuya?
We know that Lashon Hara L'toelet is allowed. For example, if I am helping someone not lose money by telling them that a person is a swindler, that is totally fine. My question is: is this hutra or dechuya? Is the Issur of Lashon Hara pushed off, or completely removed? The Nafka Mina would be whether I should limit the amount of words/ sentences I use.
