What is the ruling on a wife who does not keep the secrets of her husband and her home, and who wrongs her husband's family?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
A woman is not permitted to disclose what transpires between her and her husband concerning their marital relationship, as stated in the prophetic : "Indeed, among the worst people in rank before Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a man who goes to his wife and she comes to him, and then he divulges her secret." It is also forbidden for her to disclose the secrets of the marital home if the husband requests it or if doing so would result in harm. As for making mistakes regarding the husband's family, if what is meant is harming them through words or deeds without right, then this is forbidden by Islamic law.
