Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding His saying[An-Nisa 4:23], is the intended meaning of "entering" intercourse, or is the intended meaning merely being alone with her?
Answer:
The intended meaning is making lawful what Allah has forbidden from them, whether by intercourse, by exposing her private parts, or by looking at her private parts; that is, making lawful what Allah has forbidden from them. This is the intent. As for mere entry without touching her or seeing anything of her, that is not sufficient. Yes. But “you have entered with them,” “you have entered with them”—the intended meaning is not mere seclusion; rather, there must be seclusion accompanied by making something of them lawful. Yes.
