Seclusion in Stores
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: Sometimes a woman is forced to be alone with a merchant in his shop, not for any other reason, but only to buy what she needs. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding this?
A3: It is not permissible for a woman to be alone with a man who is not one of her
mahrams, neither in stores nor elsewhere; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musnad Ahmad 177Sahih (Darussalam) . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
A3: It is not permissible for a woman to be alone with a man who is not one of her
mahrams, neither in stores nor elsewhere; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
No man should be alone with a woman because the Shaitan will be the third one present.
لا يخلون رجل بامرأة، فإن ثالثهما الشيطان
