Explanation of the hadith prohibiting arriving at one's home at night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abdullah Salem, says: I read in a hadith "when you come from travel." What is the opinion on this? Nowadays, it has become normal for some people to arrive at the beginning of the night, in the middle of the night, or at the end of the night. Is this statement correct, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
The statement is correct. His family. It is known to the traveler that he should surprise his family without them being aware of it from his father, because if he surprises them, his wife may not have prepared to receive him; she may be in a state that is not fitting to be seen in. And the other hadith came so that the news spreads and the hidden matter is clarified. The religion of Islam is the religion of perfection and the religion of mercy.
This is general for all eras, but in our current time, it is different from what came before due to the existence of communications. Women can, if they want to speak, speak to their family by mobile phone or by telephone, tell them to wait for them at such-and-such an hour, and they can be prepared. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
