What is the ruling on the behavior of a mother who discloses her household secrets and family problems to her daughter's aunts, which led to the failure of her daughter's engagement, knowing that advice does not benefit her, and her daughter has invoked a curse upon her?

Disclosing household secrets without a valid reason is impermissible. If the mother is disclosing her household secrets, she should be advised with politeness and gentleness, bearing in mind that the mother's right is great and is not forfeited by her wrongdoing. Therefore, it is not permissible to supplicate against her. The statement "Hasbi Allah wa ni'mal wakeel" (Allah is sufficient for me, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs) is not a supplication against her, but if the mother is harmed by it, then it is not permissible to say it to her.
