Leaving a gathering where gheebah is taking place

Q: If a youngster is sitting in a gathering of adults wherein gheebah is taking place and he cannot leave, what should he do?

A: If you are able to prevent them from engaging in gheebat, then you should do so. However, if you are unable to prevent them, then you should leave the gathering. You may make an excuse that you need to leave the gathering to go to the washroom.

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