Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible for someone who has committed a sin to inform anyone about it, because doing so constitutes publicizing the disobedience and removing Allah's covering. The matter becomes even more forbidden if it involves informing one's spouse, due to the corruption it causes to the marital relationship and the arousal of doubts.
