HADITH OF THE DAY :) Narrated `Uqba bin Amir: Allahs Messenger (ﷺ) said, Beware of entering upon the ladies. A man from the Ansar said, Allahs Apostle! What about Al-Hamu the in-laws of the wife (the brothers of her husband or his nephews etc.)? The Prophet (ﷺ) replied: The in-laws of the wife are death itself. {Bukhari} sunnah/bukhari/67/165 Al-Nawawi, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: What is referred to in the hadeeth is all the husband’s (male) relatives apart from his father and sons. People customarily take the matter of a man being alone with his brother’s wife as being of little consequence; to indicate the seriousness of the matter, it was likened to death. Indeed, one should be more cautious about the brother-in-law than about a stranger. The phrase the brother-in-law is death may have a number of meanings: That being alone with a brother-in-law may lead to disaster if a sin is committed, or may spell divorce for the woman if her husband cannot contain his jealousy; Or: Beware of being alone with a non-mahram woman – fear this as you fear death. All this stems from Islam’s keenness to protect households, to avoid evil and to preserve marriages in the best possible way. You will find more details under question #217 . May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.
