Notes and open questions — unreviewed
الْمَجَالِسُ بِالْاَمَانَةِ
The concise Arabic expression links gatherings or assemblies with trust, but the exact implication—such as confidentiality of what is said there—is not spelled out. The English witness is similarly brief (“Meetings are under trust”).
Does this maxim specifically require keeping what is said in a gathering confidential, or does it express a broader trust attached to gatherings?
