ANSWER:

There’s a difference between hearing and listening, if you just happen to listen without actually wanting to hear, you’re not sinful. You can wear headphones and listen to the Quran or a lecture. 

You must however give them dawah about it’s prohibition but with diplomacy, good manners and wisdom.

Sheikh, I’m from Russia. Have to contact with the kuffār permanently. My kāfir relatives and acquaintances often complain to me about other kuffār. Like “B. is so bad. You know what he did?” etc.. This has no sense cause it’s not of my business, and I can’t help them. Is backbiting forbidden only regarding Muslims or is it forbidden regarding the kuffār as well?

Is it regarded as backbiting if a member of the family like mother talking to her son about her challenges with the father if it’s affecting her health and the husband is not giving listening ears rather making her go through psychological torture. This conversation may lead to talking about evil acts about the father and how to help it out.The woman health is at stake too.
