Warning someone about being deceived by a certain person

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2017-02-22 08:06

Q: I have given some money to a person who promised me to give me back on Wednesday but he didn't, then he promised to give me Friday and he broke his promise again. Likewise it is more than a week now and I still did not get my money back. I fear he might have tricked me to take money from me and he actually didn't need it urgently.

1. My question is that he also knows my brother and he may ask my brother for money as well and he do the same to him. Can I inform my brother about this so that he is aware of the situation and he does not get tricked?

2. If I complain to my brother about him then this will this be counted as back biting (gheebat) and I should not tell my brother?

A:

1. Yes.

2. No, it will not be counted as gheebat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
