Who is notorious for debauchery and why slanderingabout him is permitted ?

There are several subjects here, which should be explained: a- Is exception of a notorious person a topical exclusion( thatis one who affects a vice, naturally is not disturbed for mentioning it in his absence. Moreover, it is not a hidden and privacy affair being regarded as slander )or slandering about a notorious person is one of the slander types, and has been excluded as so called" appropriation"? b- Is permit for slandering about notorious one restricted tothe sins which he performs publicly, or it is permitted in allcases?

c- If someone is notorious in one place, and non- notoriousand private in somewhere else, is slandering about himpermitted in the second place too or not?

d- Is in the permit for slandering about notorious person, existence of conditions for bid to good and forbid of wrongnecessary?

The reply to all of these questions depends on unders tandingthe main point and reason for exclusion of this issue fromslander's forbiddance.

It is inferred from above traditions that a notoriousi ndividual basically does not have any respect( the respect whichis the hindrance for slander's permit ).

In other words, such people( and cruel and innovator people )
