Dream - Khalwat or being alone between a woman and a man who is not a mahram is one of the actions prohibited by Allah SWT. In fact, this can potentially bring about evil, such as the act of adultery. However, khalwat is often considered trivial because it is seen as common or normal to happen. Therefore, Dream's friends must be very cautious when socializing. So, what are the dangers of khalwat between a woman and a man who is not a mahram? Here is what Dream has compiled through various sources.

For example, a woman who receives male guests, whether her husband or male relatives. Then they sit together, talk softly, and even joke around. Especially if there is no mahram in the house. Such behavior is certainly very dangerous and prohibited in Islam. It also indicates the presence of ikhtilat or mixing between men and women. As explained in a hadith:

"Do not let a man be alone with a woman unless there is a mahram accompanying the woman." (HR. Bukhari and Muslim) Through the act of being alone, it does not close the possibility of bringing about forms of evil because the third party between them is a devil. The Prophet Muhammad said, "Remember, that a man does not be alone with a woman unless the three of them are devils." (HR. Ahmad, At-Tirmidzi, and Al-Hakim)"

Especially avoiding things that bring slander, such as secluding oneself with men who are not mahrams. A mahram for a wife is of course her own husband, as well as anyone who is forbidden to marry her. For example, the father, grandfather from the mother's side or father and so on, children, grandchildren from her male children, siblings and sisters downwards, uncle from the father's side, uncle from the mother's side, husband's father (father-in-law) and husband's children (stepchildren), husband of her daughter (son-in-law).

and the mother's husband who has had intimate relations with the mother so that he becomes her stepchild. Through the several people mentioned above, a wife is allowed to seclude herself with one of them. Therefore, this seclusion must be observed carefully. To protect oneself from falling into the pit of sin due to actions forbidden by Allah SWT. Moreover, in seclusion, this becomes an opportunity to bring forth forms of evil and can stimulate desire.

Imam As-Syaukani said, "The reason is that men are attracted to women because they were created with a natural inclination towards women, and also because of their natural desire to marry. Similarly, women are attracted to men because of their natural instincts and inherent qualities. Therefore, Satan finds a way to ignite desire between them, leading to sinful acts."
