The Ruling on a Man Being Alone with Non-Mahram Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother S. A. S. from Ras al-Khaimah says in his question: It is mentioned in the noble hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Does this mean that it is permissible for a man to be alone with two or more women who are not his mahram? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This hadith indicates the prohibition of a man being alone with a non-mahram woman, and that Satan is the third among them. Its implication is that the state of seclusion is removed if there are three or more people. Other hadiths have also indicated this meaning. However, if there is suspicion regarding seclusion with more than one woman, prevention is obligatory; in accordance with the other evidence indicating the obligation of protecting chastity and preventing the causes of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). May Allah guide them all.
