Lately, Indonesian cinema has been thrilled with a movie entitled "Ipar Adalah Maut" which made the audience furious about the storyline. The movie, which was released in June, was based on the true story of a follower of Tiktok content creator Eliza Sifa. The title also seems to be taken from a quote from the Prophet's hadith, which has the same meaning. Responding to this, Dr. Syamsurizal Yazid, M.A., as a Hadith expert and also a lecturer in the Islamic Family Law Study Program at the Faculty of Islamic Religion, University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), discussed what caused the hadith to be revealed.
The asbabun nuzul, or origin of the hadith, is from 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said. "Be careful when you are going out to meet women". Then an Ansar man said, "O Prophet, what do you say regarding in-laws?" He replied, "Hamwu (in-laws) are death." (Reported by Bukhari no. 5232 and Muslim no. 2172).

Hamwu referred to in the hadith mentioned above is not only in-laws but every relative close to the wife who is not a mahram. The hadith above also tells us about the prohibition of being together with a woman who is not a mahram. The hadith also mentions another thing. "Let none of you stay alone with a woman (who is not his mahram) because Satan is the third person." (Shaykh Shu'aib al Arnauth said that the sanad of this hadeeth is saheeh and the narrators are qualified according to the requirements of Bukhari-Muslim.)
He also explained that from the text of this hadith, it can be seen that the emergence of this hadith was related to the question of Anshar. The Prophet himself equated in-laws with death because it was considered that it would endanger and cause affairs, adultery, and other unpleasant things.
In An-Nawawi's book, what is meant by al-Hamwu is the husband's relatives, other than his father and children. Because the husband's father and son are mahrams to the wife. It is permitted to stay together with them, and they are not considered a source of death (destruction). However, the hadith refers to the husband's or wife's relatives, nephews, uncles, cousins, and so on, who are not mahrams to her.

"Therefore, the hadith has a fiqh law, which means that it is forbidden to stay alone with in-laws. The reason is based on the fact that household life does not occur in infidelity and can create a Sakinah Mawaddah Warahmah household. As well as this hadith, it is reinforced by the verse in Al-Quran Surah Al-Isra: 32 about the prohibition of approaching adultery, "he added.
"From the explanations above, we must understand that the Prophet warned us to be careful in life, especially in marriage. Most people today think that in-laws who get along excessively with their wives or husbands are normal. Even though there is clearly a fiqh law that explains that it is not a mahram, Therefore, there must be limits that are obeyed so that unwanted things do not happen, "he concluded. (dit/wil/put)
