The Death Knell of a Woman

Reading Time: < 1 minute

It is reported from Hazrat Uqbah Bin Aamir (Radhiyallahu anhu) that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Beware of going in and out of the presence of women.”

A Sahaabi asked: “Yaa Rasulullah! What about the husband’s brother?” [In other words, can he come in the presence of his brother’s wife?]

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) responded: “The husband’s brother is death.” [In other words, he is the death knell for the marriage of a woman and her husband. There is a high risk of the two committing zina.]
