Asma bint Abu Bakr (RA) (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported: We set out (to Makkah) in a state of Ihram. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He who has the sacrificial animal with him should remain in the state of Ihram, but he who has not the sacrificial animal with him should put off Ihram. As I had not the sacrificial animal with me, I put off Ihram. And since Zubair (her husband) - had the sacrificial animal with him, he did not put off Ihram. She (Asma) said: I put on my clothes and then went out and sat by Zabair, whereupon he said: Go away from me, whereupon I said: Do you fear that I would jump upon you?

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Urdu marginal note:
"Sit at a distance," because during the state of ihram not only is intercourse prohibited, but also the preliminaries to intercourse, such as touching with desire and kissing, are also forbidden. In the presence of fragrance and the like, natural inclination is a normal matter; therefore, the command to remain distant was given.
