Is it obligatory to expose someone who reveals work secrets to clients in exchange for money, which may harm the employer, or should their matter be concealed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Disclosing work secrets to clients, whether for a fee or not, is a betrayal of trust and a prohibited bribe. First, the person should be advised to abandon this evil. If he does not respond, then his matter must be reported to the employer; otherwise, the silent one will be held accountable before Allah.
