Q. Dear Rabbi. I’m in the process of conversion and I try very diligently to learn as much as possible all the Mitzvot and precepts of the Torah and to keep as much as I can and should, so I will be well prepared and ready at the time of the conversion.
Since in my secretarial work I’m involved with issues that can be understood as being Lashon Horaa, I wonder if before converting I’m already involved in that prohibition?

A. On question 1685 addressing the Shailah if Gentiles are included in the speaking Lashon Horah prohibition , we wrote:

“Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that Gentiles are not included in the speaking lashon horah prohibitions, since these proscriptions are not part of the seven Noahide Mitzvos. (Sanhedrin 56a). However, when the lashon horah causes damage or harm to others, as it often does, it would be included in the Noahide mitzva of not stealing from and harming others.

Poskim disagree the exact definition and nature of the mitzva of dinim or carrying out justice. It definitely includes a requirement that Gentile societies establish courts and prosecute those who violate the Noahide laws (Tosefta, Avodah Zarah 9:4; Rambam, Hilchos Melachim 9:14). Ramban (Bereishis 34:13) contends that the mitzva of dinim also prohibits injuring or abusing others or damaging their property.”
