Husband and Wife Privacy

What ayahs can you guys give me in reference, or even hadith, that talk about the privacy between a husband and wife. And I don’t mean just about sex. About general privacy. Like not blabbing stuff your spouse says to you in public or to other family members, unless its a life/death matter (ex. your spouse has confided in you that they want to commit suicide, etc).

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Umm i dunno, but i read somewhere, most likely an article about the perfect Muslim wife, and one thing was that a wife stands by her man.. she doesn't reveal his affairs.. she guards herself and his business and watever while he's gone (off to war or work).. she speaks highly of him to everyone, doens't complain stupidly.. i mean it makes perfect sense to me..

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Kinda like you want go to old Christian way (before Europe came out of Dark Ages). Churches tell who you should marry, what is your profession in life, what does your dream mean.

Quran may cover these topic in general, but I think if this is a real issue - you need to sort it out with your spouse. There is other underlying issues - like understanding and respect

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

I am sure it goes both ways.

However, I need solid references.

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Of course it goes both ways :p but sorry i can't give you solid sources :(

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

PCG Chapter 49 (Al Hujarat) would be perfect for the questions you mentioned.

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

"Verily among the worst people before Allah on the Day of Judgment is a man who approaches his wife sexually and she responds and then he spreads her secrets." (Sahih Muslim)

I'll post more later when I get a chance. Hope this covers a bit of what you're looking for.

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

According to verse in Quran, spouses are like dress for each other (maintain privacy of each other, keep secrets of each others etc.)

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Maybe it's just me, but isnt this supposed to be all common sense and decency, to not talk about ur sex life wiht the whole world? I mean i've readall this stuff seen it on tv, ppl bragging and it's just disgusting.. before I read it in the Islamic context, it jsut seems pretty sick to me tht ppl wud be so open abt such private affairs...

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Sara, as they say, common sense is not so common. I don't want to stereotype, but I know its most of ladies who talk about their sex experiences (with husband), when, how etc, I have yet to come across a guy talk about it.... I'm sure there must be guys doing it too. But anyway, the point is that people don't pay attention to what Quran says, or even "common sense".

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Yeah I guess i know what you mean… it’s still pretty gross, but wat i was tryin to say was that a lot of the Quran is common sense, like you don’t need modern day relationship experts to tell you that bragging about your sex life is disgusting (acutally no screw those experts, they advoate sex in public spaces :yukh: ) but u get wat im tryin to say rite?

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Read my first post again please. I'm not just talking about sex. I mean in general. Like if you confide your thoughts to someone about whatever, do they have a right to go blab it to the world?

That ayah just talks specifically about sexual secrets, or secrets in general?

I need something about secrets in general.

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Yeah, i read your comment about that somewhere else… what can i say, some guys (n grlz) need to grow the hell up :rolleyes:

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

The ayah is not about sex, it is about all issues.

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Its translated as meaning sexual topics. The clothing one is way too vague. That's a metaphor and can be taken in many different ways.

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

I was just looking for that reference. It is really a beautiful way of putting what spouses mean for each other.

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Is every mundane detail of our lives covered by some Ayahs… This to me just seems like something that would be common sense. Not something that requires the word of god to be understood.

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

^ Again, some people are morons (common sense isn't so common) so they need religion for the littlest details :)

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

Well sometimes, for some people, they don't know common sense, and the only way they understand is if you slap an ayah in their face. And no, this is not for me personally.

Re: Husband and Wife Privacy

^why don't you put up an example and then let ppl use their judgment and u'll get your answer
