The questioner: Finally: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a man to be in the same bed as another man, or a woman with another woman " Excuse me, if you allow me, does this prohibition mean that two men cover themselves with a single blanket, each in his own garment?
The Shaykh: The text of the hadith refers to being naked.
The questioner: Being naked.
The Shaykh: Yes, the text of the hadith is this, but if each of them covers himself with a blanket and there is no contact between them, then it is permissible. However, if they cover themselves with a single blanket, it is not permissible, but that is less severe than what the Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade in the hadith.
The questioner: I mean, even if each is in his garment?
The Shaykh: Yes, so we have three cases. The first is when a man sleeps with a man, or a woman with a woman, and each is naked under a single blanket; this is what is directly intended by the hadith. The second case is when they sleep not naked, but under a single blanket; this is also included with the second, though it is less severe.
The questioner : I mean, it is not permissible.
The Shaykh: It is not permissible. And the third thing is that they are in their garments, and each has his own blanket; there is nothing wrong with that.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And to you.
The questioner: So, we will postpone the first topic until the visit to ... if Allah wills.
The Shaykh: In any case, I do not know if this can happen.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh: And I ask Allah to grant us ... .
The questioner: If Allah wills, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: And you as well, if Allah wills.
