لا يخلون أحدكم بامرأة إلا مع ذي محرم

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It is prohibited for a man to be alone with a non-Mahram woman, for this is one of the instigators of corruption and falling into temptation and immorality.<br>
2) One has to keep away from the places of potential Fitnah and falling into sin, like unlawful intermixing and others.
