Nafsul Mutmainnah

"(It will be said to the pious): "O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction (Nafsul Mutmainnah) ! Come back to your Lord, Well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing unto Him! Enter you, then, among My honoured slaves, and enter you My Paradise!" - Surah Al Fajr [89:27-30]

The Ruling in Divulging Marital Secrets

Question: 

Some women are overcome by the urge to communicate what is said in the house and their marital life to their relatives and friends.  Some of what is said is secret, and the husband does not want anyone else to know it.  what is the ruling o­n women who divulge these secrets and communicate them to those outside the house, or to some members of the household? 

Answer:
The practice, as some women do, of communicating what is said in the house, and communicating details about their marital life to relatives and friends, is a forbidden thing.  It is not permissible for a woman to divulge the secrets of her house or her affairs with her husband to any person. 

Allah, Most High says:

Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.). An-Nisa 4:34 - and the Prophet (salla lahu 'alahi wa sallam) informed us that the worst of people in rank before Allaah o­n the Day of Resurrection will be a man who has sexual intercourse with his wife and she with him, then he communicates her secrets.
