How to Separate in Beds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, A. M. S. from Marrakesh in Morocco, says in his question: We ask Your Eminence to clarify the method of separating in beds mentioned in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Is the intention to separate boys from girls, or to separate the boys from one another and the girls from one another? And is the intention to separate them on their bedding, or is it necessary for each of them to be in a separate room? We ask for clarification of the truth, because this matter concerns all Muslims.
Answer:
The hadith is general and encompasses both boys and girls. The separation is achieved by placing each boy and each girl on a separate bed, even if they are in the same room; because the presence of each person with another on the same bed may be a means for committing a sin. May Allah guide everyone to all that is good.
