Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary: ➊ On the occasion of jihad, women did not simply remain confined to their homes, but rather rendered devoted and self-sacrificing services. ➋ From this, it is also understood that in times of necessity, a non-mahram woman can treat a non-mahram man. ➌ A jurisprudential principle is also derived from this hadith: that in view of necessities, there is some allowance for the use of otherwise prohibited things. ➍ It should be noted that Muslim women would bring the wounded to Madinah so that they could be treated there; however, as for the slain, the command was to bury them at the place of death rather than bringing them back to Madinah. And Allah knows best.
