A man whom a woman of high status and beauty invited: what is the ruling on her invitation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, Shaykh, may Allah bless you. The second question: the hadith that is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Muwatta Malik 51:14, where he said, "And a man whom a woman of high status and beauty invited." Is this invitation for the purpose of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), or if the invitation is for sitting and conversation, meaning?
The Shaykh : It is for zina.
The questioner : But if it is not for zina, for example, just sitting and chatting, then it does not fall under the hadith. May Allah bless you. And he refused.
The Shaykh : This, if Allah wills, is a great reward for him, that he refused out of fear that it might be a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
There are seven whom Allah will shade in His shade on the day on which there is no shade except His shade
سبعة يظلهم الله في ظله يوم لا ظل إلا ظلهThe Shaykh : It is for zina.
The questioner : But if it is not for zina, for example, just sitting and chatting, then it does not fall under the hadith. May Allah bless you. And he refused.
The Shaykh : This, if Allah wills, is a great reward for him, that he refused out of fear that it might be a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
