<![CDATA[The development of social media has changed how husbands and wives disclose domestic conflicts, including by sharing private conversations, photos, videos, and narratives of marital disputes with the public. This phenomenon raises ethical concerns regarding the protection of privacy and a spouse’s honor. This study aims to analyze the ethics of disclosing domestic issues on social media from the perspectives of the Qur’an, Hadith, and Islamic Family Law. This qualitative study employs library research using thematic Qur’anic exegesis (maudhu‘i), thematic Hadith studies, and descriptive-analytical and integrative analysis. The analysis connects Islamic sources with Communication Privacy Management theory, the principle of ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ (protection of honor), and the concept of satr al-‘uyūb (concealment of faults). The findings indicate that disclosure of domestic issues should be assessed based on its purpose, the substance of the information, the intended recipients, and its impact. Disclosure intended to humiliate a spouse or expose private secrets to the public contradicts the principle of preserving honor. Conversely, limited disclosure to seek advice, protection, or justice should be distinguished from exposing personal faults. This study proposes an ethical framework for disclosing domestic issues that balances privacy protection with the need to seek assistance and justice in digital spaces.]]>
