The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I heard that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited a man spending the night alone. He asks: Is the prohibition for the sake of prohibition (haram) or for the sake of dislike (makruh)?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited a man spending the night alone.
The Shaykh:
No, not a man traveling alone; he prohibited a man traveling alone. As for spending the night, I do not know of this. Yes.
