Is it permissible for a married sister to tell her unmarried sister details of her marital relationship and intercourse with her husband?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Matters that transpire between spouses, such as their private enjoyment of each other, are a trust that must not be divulged. This is based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, among the worst people in station before Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a man who goes to his wife, and she goes to him, then he divulges her secret." This warning encompasses both men and women. It is not permissible for a woman to tell her sister or anyone else about the matters of enjoyment that will occur between her and her husband.
