Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues: This hadith is extremely weak; however, it is clear that in a Muslim society, the rights of men and women are protected and respected. Men have been taught etiquette: to respect women and to maintain their own dignity as well. If women are passing by, it is in no way permissible for a man to push himself among them; however, it is also necessary that women observe the prescribed Islamic veil (hijab) and adhere to other etiquettes as mentioned elsewhere.
