The Meaning and Ruling of the Prohibition of the Mothers of the Believers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is the prohibition regarding the Mothers of the Believers applicable to the Companions?
Prohibition, prohibition; it is not a prohibition in the sense of being a mahram. They are non-mahrams to them; it is forbidden for them to marry them, but they are not mahrams to them. Rather, it is a prohibition in terms of honor... the right... and the Mothers of the Believers are in terms of honor and respect, not in terms of being mahrams.
Q: Is seclusion with them like seclusion with other women?
The Shaykh: He does not seclude with them, but the Companions would enter, two or three of them, to ask her questions, such as entering with Aisha or others, just as a person would enter with his brother now.
