1.6 - Avoiding Lashon Hara at all "Costs" (2)

Based on our previous episode, it would be assumed that there's no difference in regards to the prohibition of speaking vs. listening to Lashon Hara in a circumstance when your Parnassah is at risk. However, the Chavos Yair suggests that a prohibition which is violated through passivity does not require one to part with all of his money, in reference to the prohibition of neglecting burial of a corpse. It requires further analysis whether the prohibition of listening compares to neglecting of the corpse or rather the listener is required a certain level of proactivity to understand the speech.
