The End of Seclusion by the Presence of a Third Person and the Issue of the Mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Does not this man enter upon the woman? And does he not enter except with a mahram?
The Shaykh:
A mahram or another person; the seclusion is removed even by a non-mahram, and the presence of a third woman removes the seclusion, but if a mahram is with her, that is better.
The questioner:
The Shaykh’s issue, may Allah preserve him.
The Shaykh:
A mahram, except for what is required in travel. As for in the city, seclusion is lifted even in the presence of a mahram, yes.

A mahram, except for what is required in travel. As for in the city, seclusion is lifted even in the presence of a mahram, yes.
