Whenever disclosure is permitted, it should be restricted to the extent required to achieve the intended Sharʿī objective, for necessity is measured according to its extent. Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān ibn Nāṣir as-Saʿdī (رحمه الله) said: "Be one who preserves secrets and is known among the people for safeguarding them. For if they know this quality from you, they will entrust you with their secrets, and they will excuse you for concealing the secret of another which they themselves would fear to have disclosed. This is especially important if you have connections with opposing parties, for the means used to extract what you know become many and varied from both sides. Therefore, beware, beware that any of them should obtain anything from you, whether explicitly or implicitly. Know that people have subtle methods and hidden avenues through which they seek to extract what a person knows. So keep every possibility in mind, even if it seems remote, and do not leave any avenue through which you may be approached. This is from prudence. Be certain that you will never regret remaining silent and concealing a matter. Rather, harm and regret usually arise from haste, recklessness, and placing a degree of trust in people that leads one to what is harmful." Ar-Riyāḍ an-Nāḍirah, (p. 210). One of the poets described the trustworthy person who safeguards the secrets of his companion, saying: ويُكَتِّم الأسرارَ حتَّى إنَّهُ * لَيَصُونُها عن أن تَمُرَّ بِبالِهِ "He conceals secrets to such an extent that he even guards them from passing through his own thoughts." Ad-Dharīʿah ilā Makārim ash-Sharīʿah, (p. 297). Thus, the foundation remains the preservation of trusts, concealment of faults, and safeguarding of confidential speech. Yet these objectives are not pursued at the expense of truth, justice, and the prevention of harm. Therefore, when disclosure becomes necessary to repel oppression, establish the truth, protect the innocent, or prevent clear harm, the matter is judged according to its circumstances and in light of the recognised principles of the Sharīʿah. والله أعلم، وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين. ---------------- Abu ʿAṭīyah 28/12/1447H.

﷽ A Note on Entrusted Speech and the Limits of Confidentiality The general principle is that a Muslim preserves trusts and does not disclose the private or confidential speech of others. Concealing the faults of Muslims and safeguarding their secrets are characteristics of the righteous. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Gatherings are held in trust." [Authenticated by Al-Albānī in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Jāmiʿ, 2330, 6678] Al-Munāwī (رحمه الله) said: "That is, praiseworthy gatherings are those accompanied by trustworthiness, meaning concealing what occurs therein of private discussions and confidential matters. Therefore, it is not permissible for anyone present in the gathering to disclose about his companion that which he dislikes to have disclosed." [Fayḍ al-Qadīr, (2/569)] This demonstrates that the foundation regarding private speech and entrusted matters is confidentiality and the safeguarding of trusts. However, this principle is not unrestricted in every circumstance. It should also be noted that the narration: "Two people only sit together under the trust of Allāh, so it is not permissible for either of them to disclose about his companion that which he dislikes" was declared weak by Al-Albānī in as-Silsilah adh-Ḍaʿīfah (3854). Nevertheless, the obligation of safeguarding trusts and concealing what people entrust to one another remains firmly established through authentic evidences and the statements of the scholars. For this reason, the scholars have clarified that disclosure may at times be permissible—or even required—when doing so serves a legitimate Sharʿī benefit, prevents harm, establishes the truth, or removes injustice. Al-ʿIzz ibn ʿAbd as-Salām (رحمه الله) said: "Concealing the faults of people is the hallmark of the awliyāʾ (the righteous servants of Allāh)." He then explained that disclosure may be permissible when there is a legitimate benefit in it or when it serves to repel harm. As evidence, he cited what Allāh mentioned in the Qurʾān regarding the disclosure by the noble Prophet Yūsuf (عليه السلام) of the affair of the woman who attempted to seduce him, as well as his mention of the women who cut their hands. He said: "Yūsuf (عليه السلام) only said, 'She sought to seduce me,' in order to ward off from himself what he had been exposed to—or what he might have been exposed to—of execution or punishment. Likewise, his statement, 'What was the case of the women who cut their hands?' was intended to remove suspicion from himself. For had the king continued to suspect him, he would not have appointed him to office, nor entrusted him with good governance." [Shajarat al-Maʿārif wa al-Aḥwāl, (pp. 389–390)] This establishes an important principle: although concealing matters is generally praiseworthy, disclosure may be permitted when it is necessary to repel oppression, remove a false accusation, establish one's innocence, prevent harm, or restore rights. Accordingly, if information was originally conveyed as an amānah, yet that information itself involved slander, false accusations, or statements that resulted in injustice toward another Muslim, then the matter requires careful consideration. The objective is not to expose people's private affairs, spread gossip, or seek retaliation. Rather, the objective is to establish the truth, remove oppression, clarify reality, and prevent further harm. The scholars therefore distinguish between prohibited disclosure that serves no legitimate purpose and disclosure that achieves a recognised Sharʿī benefit, such as removing an injustice, protecting a person from harm, restoring rights, or clarifying the truth regarding a false accusation. At the same time, a Muslim should be extremely cautious regarding the secrets and trusts of others and should not hasten to disclose what has been entrusted to him merely because he believes he possesses a valid justification. Rather, he weighs the harms and benefits according to the principles of the Sharīʿah and limits disclosure to what is genuinely necessary.
