THREE THINGS MUST BE DISCLOSED EVEN IF CONFIDENTIAL

Sayyiduna Jabir رضي الله عنه narrated that Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Meetings are confidential. (If anything is spoken and heard, it should not be disclosed to anyone else,) However, there are three meetings that are excepted. (if they are heard, they must be conveyed to others even if spoken confidentially.) They are: (i) Concerning shedding of blood unlawfully (deciding to do it), (ii) Committing fornication (making plans to do it), (iii) Appropriating someone's property unjustly." [2]
