Question:
Was the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a mahram to the women of the believers?
Answer:
No, he was not a mahram.
Q: Because you find some... that he would lean on the lap of, for example, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), or that he would enter upon her?
The Shaykh: Perhaps she was one of his aunts (may Allah be pleased with her), as the scholars have stated. Perhaps there was a milk-kinship, otherwise no evidence indicates that he was a mahram to the women of the believers.
Q: Umm Sulaym and Umm Hani?
The Shaykh: Umm Hani was his cousin. There is no indication that he was alone with her; rather, she came to ask a question.
