Being Alone With A Non-Mahram by Islamic Teachings

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.


The Prophet(Peace and Blessings be upon him) said,

"Whenever a man is alone with a woman the Devil makes a third."

[Hadith - Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi 3118, Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab Tirmidhi transmitted it]



Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As

Some persons from Banu Hisham entered the house of Asma' daughter of Umays when AbuBakr also entered (and she was at that time his wife). He (AbuBakr) saw it and disapproved of it and he made a mention of that to Allah's Messenger and said: I did not see but good only (in my wife). Thereupon Allah's Messenger(Peace and Blessings be upon him) said: Verily Allah has made her immune from all this. Then Allah's Messenger stood on the pulpit and said: After this day no man should enter the house of another person in his absence, but only when he is accompanied by one person or two persons.

[Hadith - Sahih Bukhari, Book 25, Number 5403]



Allah's Messenger (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said:

Behold, no person should spend the night with a married woman, but only in case he is married to her or he is her Mahram.

[Hadith - Sahih Bukhari Book 25, Number 5399, Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah]



The Prophet(Peace and Blessings be upon him) said,

"Do not visit women whose husbands are away from home, for the Devil circulates in you like your blood." He was asked if this applied to him also and said, "To me also, but Allah has helped me against him so that I may be safe."

[Tirmidhi transmitted it.Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi 3119, Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah]
