1171. Uqbah bin 'Āmir narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Beware of entering upon women." So a man from the Anṣār said: "O Messenger of Allāh! What do you think about the Hamū? So he said: "The Hamū is death." (Sahīh)
He said: There are narrations on this topic from 'Umar, Jābir, and 'Amr bin Al-'Ās.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) The Hadīth of 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir is a Hasan Sahīh Hadīth. Regarding "entering upon women" what is disliked is similar to what has been related from the Prophet ﷺ: "A man and a woman are not secluded together except that the third of them is the Shaitān." And as for the meaning of his saying: "Al-Hamwu," the Al-Hamwu is the brothers of the husband, and it is as if it is disliked for him to be alone with her.

Commentary
The word 'Al-Hamwu' stands for those male relatives of the husband who are not Mahram, and the marriage is lawful with them, like brothers and cousins or nephews of the husband etc.
