Arabic text

71 - أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، ح وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَانَ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمِيعًا "

Commentary

It should be kept clearly in mind that men and women in this Hadîth signifies men and women of one household, that is to say a husband and his wife, or a man and a woman who is enumerated among his unmarriageable kin - one's unmarriageable kin (Mahram) are those family members that one is forbidden to marry forever]. This narration certainly does not refer to marriageable kin (Ghayr Mahram) of various households. In other words, Islam does not permit unrestricted intermingling among men and women.
