It is not permissible to backbite people so that one would relieve his stress.

If a person is complaining of something that was wrong done to him, he may complain to someone who has the ability to get his rights back to him or to someone who would give him an Islamic ruling to whether what was done was right or wrong.

Often people backbite/gossip without intending harm but feel as though they need to discuss some things to relieve their stress. Is this permissible and if not, what advise would you give to relieve this stress in a halal way?
