Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas :
The Prophet said, “No man should stay with a lady in seclusion except in the presence of a Dhu-
Muhram.” A man stood up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! My wife has gone out intending to perform
the Hajj and I have been enrolled (in the army) for such-and-such campaign.” The Prophet said, “Re –
turn and perform the Hajj with your wife.”
