Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the matter is a secret, what is the ruling on my saying, "No one knows of this matter except Allah, you, and I"?
Answer:
If it is a matter that you know and another person knows, there is no doubt, there is nothing wrong with saying, "No one knows it except Allah, me, and you." Do not disclose it and do not boast about it to anyone. There are things that the created know with no doubt; their knowledge may be widespread among people, or it may be known by some people, and there is nothing wrong with that.
