EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Ibn Abbas states that it is not permissible for a man to meet a woman in private unless she is accompanied by someone who is related to her and within the prohibited degrees. This means that it would be inappropriate for an unrelated man and woman to meet alone without any other people present. The Prophet Muhammad was emphasizing the importance of modesty and respect between men and women, as well as protecting both parties from any potential harm or temptation. He also wanted to ensure that all interactions between men and women were conducted with proper decorum. This hadith serves as an important reminder of how we should conduct ourselves when interacting with members of the opposite gender.
