Fatwa number ( 1600 )
Q: Is it permissible for a boy to sleep with his mother and sister when he has reached maturity?
A: It is not permissible for male children, once they have reached puberty and are ten years old, to sleep with their mothers or sisters in their beds or on their mattresses; this is to protect private parts, to avoid inciting fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and to block the means to evil. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that children be separated in their beds when they reach ten years of age, saying:Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:5 . He also ordered those who have not reached puberty to seek permission when entering houses at the three times when exposure and the appearance of the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) are likely, and He emphasized this by calling them 'awrah, saying the Exalted: [An-Nur 24:58] ,
and He ordered those who have reached puberty to seek permission at all times when entering houses, saying the Exalted:[An-Nur 24:59] All of this is for the purpose of averting fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), protecting chastity, and eliminating the means to evil. As for one who is under ten years old, it is permissible for him to sleep with his mother or sister in her bed; due to his need for care, to remove hardship, and because there is no fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). However, if there is no fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), it is permissible for them all — even if they are adults — to sleep in one place, each on his own separate bed. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Order your children to pray at the age of seven, hit them for it at the age of ten, and separate them in their beds.
مروا أولادكم بالصلاة لسبع، واضربوهم عليها لعشر، وفرقوا بينهم في المضاجعO you who have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not [yet] reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at three times: before the dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for rest] at noon and after the night prayer. [These are] three times of privacy for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond these [periods], for they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does Allah make clear to you the verses; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِيَسْتَأْذِنْكُمُ الَّذِينَ مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحُلُمَ مِنْكُمْ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ صَلاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَحِينَ تَضَعُونَ ثِيَابَكُمْ مِنَ الظَّهِيرَةِ وَمِنْ بَعْدِ صَلاةِ الْعِشَاءِ ثَلاثُ عَوْرَاتٍ لَكُمْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلاَ عَلَيْهِمْ جُنَاحٌ بَعْدَهُنَّ طَوَّافُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌand He ordered those who have reached puberty to seek permission at all times when entering houses, saying the Exalted:
And when the children among you reach puberty, let them ask permission [at all times] as those before them have done. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.
وَإِذَا بَلَغَ الأَطْفَالُ مِنْكُمُ الْحُلُمَ فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنُوا كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
