Did the Prophet’s — peace and blessings be upon him — acceptance of the migrating woman, concerning whom the noble verse was revealed: "O you who have believed, when the believing women come to you as emigrants, then examine them. Allah is most knowing as to their faith. And if you ascertain that they are believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers," constitute a breach of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, and what are the rulings on covenants in Islam, and when is it permissible to break them?

The clause in the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah stipulated the return of men, not women. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not violate the treaty. He returned any man who came to him as a Muslim, adhering to the agreement, until Quraish violated the covenant. Their violation then became the cause for the conquest of Makkah.

Islam commands faithfulness to permissible covenants and condemns those who break them. If Muslims fear treachery from disbelievers, they must inform them of the cessation of the covenant, rather than betraying them.
