What is the ruling on a wife informing some of her friends about her pregnancy before three months have passed, without her husband's knowledge, given that he asked her not to tell anyone for fear of the evil eye? Is she considered disobedient to him by doing so? And how can she atone for her sin if that is the case?
A mother's supplication for her son's protection is answered. The wife is not obligated to obey her husband in concealing the matter of pregnancy, and there is no expiation if no definite harm results from her disobedience. It is preferable for her not to inform the husband of what happened, lest it cause discord between them.
