Does Lashon Hara Apply To Non-Jews? 🗣💬

yes uh no I mean it's a it all depends on the damage it's not the same thing as a uh it is for Jews where it's simply stating something by itself by default is a sin uh but with going sometimes their words can lead to some type of an outcome uh and that could be a potentially a sin it could lead to literally somebody dying and they could be uh uh considered a murderer because of that um you know so it all depends it's not the same details surely it's cons it's frowned upon surely it's unethical and surely someone that does that is going to be sinning in a lot of different other ways uh you know as a noahide or as a Jew so the uh says that you must stay away from a thing of Lies stay away from it doesn't say don't lie it and stay away from it meaning it's so bad don't only not lie but run away from it now but sometimes there are certain circumstances where lying is in essence the right thing to do because you are let's say uh uh saving something you're not hurting somebody uh let's say if uh your spouse tells you how do I look you know the answer is not usually uh what you know what you're you're thinking at times because maybe they don't look as great as the as you want they want you to think but you can't tell them that so you tell them what they want to hear or or better than what they want to hear now is that lying or not tells us that even in a situation like that where lying is actually the right thing to do don't lie does that mean I tell the truth that she looks like a whale no no one says that we think we're stupid no what does she saying what do you got to do you got to be fake never directly lie you have to learn how to be vague where it's not a lie so if you know for example that your wife is very very self-conscious about her age women for some reason are self-conscious about their age sometimes men are but that's I think only in this generation of feminine men now the thing is though is that if she's very self-conscious and she let's say I don't know she's uh 50 years old but she doesn't want people to know that she's uh 50 years old she wants to uh tell the you know you know she wants people think that she's 40 years old now you can't tell people this they ask her how old is your wife oh she's 40. you know it's a lie you can't tell me she's 50 because now it's going to hurt her so what do you got to do you gotta somehow maneuver the conversation either to completely not answer it and and say do something else or you could say something to the tone of you know she she was uh you know she'll be 50 in November meaning as if she's not even though she is meaning you tell me their birthday rather than their actual age you know I remember in the uh uh business world one of the guys in the office wanted customers to think that he's older um but because he was still in his uh you know early 20s and you know most of the customers in the investment world are Alzheimer's you know because that's the people that usually have money so if he told him he's uh younger than their grandson they wouldn't necessarily want to jump on board with him to do business with them and give him a million bucks to invest he's still a kid in their eyes so he says what is it what do you say says uh instead of saying I'm 21. he says I'm uh I'm gonna be 31 in uh you know in such a month which technically true he will be 31 and such position 10 years from now now of course this is unethical and you should not do it but the point being is that that's what I mean when I say being vague being vague where you're not outright lying um why why is this such even though it's the right thing to lie in that particular case why should you still not lie because the sages teach us if you slide there surely you will start getting cust you know accustomed to lying in other places this is the same thing of why the Allah is that the say that you should never go into a business where you're lending money to gleam with interest never yeah but say it's allowed the charge of interest it's not allowed to charge Jews interest but why shouldn't you charge going is not allowed to to lend money to uh to Jews or non-jews with interest he said not loud not for Jews or non-jews say yeah but technically is you're allowed to charge the uh the non-jews interest so why why is saying don't do it anyway it says because if you start lending money to goaim and charge him interest first and foremost says that all of your customers are going to be going not gonna be Jews why because you still want to go to right so you're only going to have green but if you get all your customers to go in you're going to constantly hang out with green you have Chris and Peter and Paul and John to all your customers before you know it you become a Christian why because that's all your customers who you hang out with all the time they're gonna affect you says even more he says it's not just who your friends you still shouldn't do it you're not going to be affected by Peter and Paul but you still shouldn't do it why not because if you start charging the goem interest you're going to get used to charging interest and you're going to build a desire to charge interest easy money and little by little it's going to get to a point where you're going to want to charge Jews interest to a Jew comes to you and tells you listen I got good credit I got good business I want to borrow 10 million dollars you know on that deal you're going to be making a fortune we're gonna say no if you already fell in love with interest you're not going to say no she says that's why shlamor says don't charge interest not the goaim or the juice why it's a bad thing to do nothing to do nothing to do you're gonna get yourself used to doing bad things yeah but it's a lot just because Allah doesn't mean you should do it so it's critical to know that when it comes down to do not have the same restriction of laws of the details of who what when how to say anyone that speaks the Sonora whether they be jew or Gentile and they do it on a regular basis surely they're going to be led to doing other crimes and lose their alarm bar one way or the other and that's why it's uh you know it's not something that anyone should do with a Jew or Gentile [Music] let me know what you think and make sure to share it because other people need to learn to
