Keeping a secret
(كِتْمَانُ السِّر)


من موسوعة المصطلحات الإسلامية

المعنى الاصطلاحي

Keeping a secret, whether it pertains to oneself or to someone else who confided in him.

الشرح المختصر

"Kitmaan as-Sirr" (keeping secrets) is one of the practical moral issues. Secrets are of two types: 1. The information that someone confides to another. He may explicitly tell him: Keep it a secret. Or this may appear from his attitude; such as when he hides his talk from other people, or speaks to one privately and looks around to make sure no one else is listening. 2. The inner thoughts which one would feel shy to reveal, or something shameful he would wish to keep hidden, or the like. Keeping secrets, of both types, is something commendable. It is deemed loyalty in the first type, and prudence and concealment of faults in the second.

التعريف

To keep one’s secret; to conceal it and not to divulge it to others. None can do this except a person of high integrity.
