THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"

Question:
There are some women who are overcome (with the urge) to talk about goings on at home and their (private) life with their husbands to their relatives and friends. Some of this talk is about private matters which the husband would not want anyone to know about. So what is the ruling regarding the women who reveal private matters outside of the home or to some of those within the home?

Answer:
That which some women do in talking about goings on at home and married life to their relatives and friends is haraam, and it is not permissible for a woman to reveal private matters of her home or how things are with her husband to anyone! Allaah said:

Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc. [Surah an-Nisaa (4): verse 34].

And the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"The worst of the people in (the Sight of) Allaah on the Day of Resurrection is the man who discloses (secrets) to his wife and she discloses (secrets) to him and then he reveals her secrets (to others)"

[Transmitted by Muslim - Volume 2, Number 1020, Abu Daawood - Number 4870; with the chain: ‘Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Sa’d on the authority of Sa’eed al-Khudree].
