Lashon hara about missing someone

Question:

If you say that you don't miss someone (when they're away), is that lashon hara? What if you don't give any details? What can you say if someone asks you if you miss that person but you really don't?

 

Answer:

Hello,

It depends on the context of the conversation. If it carries the connotation that the person is a bad person and therefore isn’t missed, then it would be avak lashon hora. However, if the context is simply that you aren’t close to them, then there isn’t anything particularly bad about them, and it isn’t lashon hora.

Best wishes
