Prohibition of Backbiting and Slander

Question
Is it permissible to inform one of my relatives that the other relatives are backbiting and slandering in WhatsApp groups and to warn her about them, knowing that she is very kind?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This is part of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. If it is possible to inform others who can prevent the wrongdoing, it is permissible; otherwise, it is not allowed. And God knows best.
