[Machine] The mukhannathun (effeminate males) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were of three types: those who possessed desirable qualities, those who were demolished (their houses) and those who were confined. The one who possessed desirable qualities was Khawlah bint 'Amr ibn 'A'idh, the paternal aunt of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . She used to enter the homes of the Prophet ﷺ and visit the women until the battle of Ta'if took place. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard of her and said to Khalid ibn Walid: "If Ta'if is conquered tomorrow, do not let Badi'ah bint Ghailan escape from you, as she accepts four and rejects eight." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I do not see this wickedness being prudent concerning this matter. After this, he should not enter upon his wives." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set off, continuing his journey until he reached Dhul-Hulayfah, where he said: "They (mukhannathun) are not to enter Al-Madinah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered Al-Madinah and stayed there, and it was said to him that there was a poor man who needed something. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would go to him every Saturday and ask him (about his needs), then he would return to his home. This was the practice during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abu Bakr, and the time of 'Umar. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ banished both his companions (mukhannathun) along with him, and one was demolished while the other was confined.
