Recording a Conversation Secretly

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: Can one record a conversation between two people without the other party knowing? What about a third person listening in recording the conversation without both parties knowing? Is such a practice allowed?

A: It will not be permissible if any one of them is unaware that the discussion is being recorded. Also not permissible if both parties are unaware.

Allah Ta’aala knows best.
