Question: The difference between criticism, which is sometimes helpful, and slander is a fine line. How can one clearly understand what is slander and not criticism?

Answer: Slander is the lack of a correct justification for what was said.

In this case, it is necessary to scrutinize it, bring it to public judgment, and so on. But, in general, this is the difference between slander and criticism.

Question: Could the criterion of difference be the intention with which a person says something?

Answer: This is very difficult to verify. Where do we find the answer to this? A person cannot check himself. But still, he should be afraid to say certain things about another, even if he thinks it is criticism on his part.
