Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from outside the country who says: I am a young woman, and praise be to Allah, He has granted me steadfastness, and I cover my face and wear the hijab. Her question is: What is the legal relationship between me and my sister’s husband? Am I permitted to shake his hand and eat with him? Is he permitted to see my face?
Answer:
No, he is a non-mahram to you. Even if he is your sister’s husband, he is a non-mahram to you. So do not uncover your face for him, and do not shake his hand. As for speaking with him, there is nothing wrong with it. Sitting with him, with you on one side and he on the other, in the presence of a gathering, is also fine. Do not be alone with him; that is also fine. Yes.
