What is meant by the Hadith: "The Hour will not be established until women are found being openly married in the middle of the road during the day, and no one will denounce that. The best of them on that day will be one who says: 'If only you would move her a little from the road.' That one among them will be like Abu Bakr and Umar among you"? Does it mean the appearance of public indecency in the streets, and has this sign already appeared?

The hadith concerning intercourse in the street is very weak, and it is: "The Hour will not be established until there is no one left on the face of the earth whom Allah has any need of, and until a woman is found openly copulating in the middle of the road, and no one denounces that." However, the hadith "The worst of people will remain, copulating like donkeys" supports it, meaning that men and women will engage in intercourse openly in the presence of people.
