Khalwa tana nufin kasancewar namijin da ba mahramin mace ba da kuma matar da ba mahramin namiji ba su kadai tare ba, babu mahram ko wani mutum. Hakan na iya faruwa a wuri mai zaman kansa, ko a wuri na jama'a. A kowane hali, khalwa haramun ne a Musulunci, kuma dukkan namiji da matar da ke ciki suna cikin zunubi.

Khalwa relates to the presence of a non-mahram man and woman being on their own together without the presence of a mahram or any other person. This could happen in a private place, or a public place. In either case khalwa is forbidden from Islam, and both the man and woman involved are sinful.

Khalwa a Wuri Mai Zaman Kansa: Hakan na iya faruwa a kowane wuri da ake buƙatar izini kafin shiga, kamar gida ko ɗaki a cikin ginin gidaje.

Khalwa in a Private Place : This could occur in any place that requires permission for entry, such as a house or bedroom in a residence building.

Khalwa a Wuri na Jama'a: Wannan na iya faruwa a duk wani wuri na jama'a wanda yanayinsa ba zai zama cewa wasu mutane za su wuce ko su zo wurin ba. Misali na irin wannan wuri shi ne cikin daji ko wani keɓaɓɓen ɗaki a jami'a.

Khalwa in a Public Place : This could occur in any public place whose nature is that no other people would be likely to pass by or come there. An example of such a place would be in a forest or an isolated room in a university.

Muhammad ﷺ ya ce, "Idan namiji da mace suka kasance su kaɗai a wuri keɓaɓɓe, to na uku shi ne Shaiɗan." Bukhari ya ruwaito cewa Annabi ﷺ ya ce, "Kada wani namiji ya zauna da mace a keɓe sai a gaban mahram ɗinta." Wani mutum ya tashi ya ce, "Ya Rasulullah! Matata ta fita da niyyar yin Hajji, ni kuma an rubuta sunana a cikin sojoji don yaƙin kaza da kaza." Annabi ﷺ ya ce, "Koma ka yi Hajji tare da matarka."

Muhammad (saw) said, “If a man and a woman are alone together in an isolated place, then the third is Shaitan.” Bukhari narrated that the Prophet (saw) said, “No man should stay with a lady in seclusion except in the presence of a mahram to her.” A man stood up and said, “O Rasul Allah! My wife has gone out intending to perform the Hajj and I have been enrolled in the army for such and such a campaign.” The Prophet (saw) said, “Return and perform the Hajj with your wife.”.
