Abuses of the People of Lūṭ
the poison-soaked arrows of Satan; the one who surrenders it
out of My fear, I will bless him with such Īmān (faithfulness)
the sweetness of which he will feel in his heart.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-
Kabīr, pp. 173, vol. 10, Ḥadīš 10362)
Privacy with an Amrad is More Perilous than
Seven Beasts
A Tabi’ī saint
has stated: ‘I consider company of a
young devout with a beardless lad more perilous than seven
beasts.’ Then he further elaborates that no one should spend
night in seclusion with an Amrad in a house. Imām Ibn Ḥajar
Makkī Shāfi’ī ۡ
has stated: ‘Considering an Amrad
analogous to woman, some scholars of Islam
have
declared seclusion with an Amrad at home, shop or bathroom
as Ḥarām. In the similar context there is a Ḥadīš of the Prophet
Muhammad ٖ
declaring, ‘When a person is in
seclusion with (unlawful) woman, the third one present there
is Satan.’ (Jāmi’ Tirmiżī, pp. 67, vol. 4, Ḥadīš 2172)
An Amrad is More Perilous than a Woman is!
Sayyidunā Imām Ibn Ḥajar Makkī Shāfi’ī ۡ
has
stated that if there is an Amrad who is more attractive than a
woman, there is added risk because there is more probability
of debauchery in this case. Therefore, observing seclusion with
him is Ḥarām to greater extent. (Az-Zawājir 'An-Iqtirāf-il-Kabāir, pp.
10, vol. 2)
