The Meaning of Khubuth in the Hadith of the Dith and Blocking the Means to Zina
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to a message sent by our brother Abu Uthman 'Az al-Din Sudani. He says: May Allah bless you. The hadith of the dith is about one who approves of khubuth, or khubuth in his household. What is this khubuth? And does it include the tabarruj of his women and the entry of foreign men to them?
Answer:
The khubuth referred to is zina, may Allah protect us from it. It is when a man sees his wife falling into immorality and leaves her alone. This is the dith who approves of evil in his household. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Isra 17:32] He prohibited the means that lead to zina, and that includes the tabarruj of women. This is a means to zina. [Al-Ahzab 33:33] The meaning of tabarruj is displaying adornment, whether through clothing, displaying the charms of the body, or otherwise.
Likewise, preventing the free mixing of men and women. This is preventing a means to zina. Because free mixing causes zina.
Likewise, it prohibits seclusion with a woman who is not her mahram (a relative one may not marry). A woman being alone with a non-mahram is seclusion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware of entering upon women." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about the close relatives?" He said: "The close relatives are death," meaning it is more severe. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2165Sahih (Darussalam) Likewise, it prohibits a woman traveling without a mahram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 It is incumbent upon them to protect her, attend to her affairs, and shield her from the wolves of men and the greedy. Her mahram protects her, shields her, and attends to her needs when she requires assistance. Thus, he is a safeguard and a fortress for her. Therefore, Allah has forbidden a woman from traveling without a mahram. Also, it includes lowering the gaze, because casting the gaze and looking at what is not permissible to look at among unveiled women, and looking at what leads to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) from bad appearances, is prohibited. Allah the Exalted said: [An-Nur 24:30-31] And He commanded the hijab (the covering prescribed for women), that they should draw their khimar (the head covering) over their chests and not display their adornment, meaning the faces, hands, and feet, [An-Nur 24:31] [An-Nur 24:31]. All of this is blocking the means to zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), because zina is dangerous and destructive. [Al-Isra 17:32] Yes.

Answer:
The khubuth referred to is zina, may Allah protect us from it. It is when a man sees his wife falling into immorality and leaves her alone. This is the dith who approves of evil in his household. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse
وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنَىٰand do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance
وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰLikewise, preventing the free mixing of men and women. This is preventing a means to zina. Because free mixing causes zina.

He said: "The close relatives are death," meaning it is more severe. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitan.
ما خلا رجل بامرأة إلا كان ثالثهما الشيطان،It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel
لا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تسافر إلا ومعها ذو محرم،(30) Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do. (31) And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts
قُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَٰلِكَ أَزْكَىٰ لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّand not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons
وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّtheir women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women
أَوْ نِسَائِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّابِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَىٰ عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِAnd do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.
