Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
If sharing this information with others is the only way to overcome it, then it may be necessary as a means to avoid what is forbidden. However, it is essential to choose a suitable, aware, and religious person when deciding to disclose faults and sins. This falls under the permissible cases of backbiting, which is to reconcile among believers and protect them from harm.
May you be successful in all good.
