Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a married brother who lives in our house. Sometimes I enter the house and then go into his family’s area. My brother’s wife is with my family, and she is veiled. Is it permissible for me to sit with them while she is veiled and to talk with them?
Answer:
Yes, if a man sits with his family and his brother’s wife or his uncle’s wife and she is veiled, there is no harm, just as they visit the house and greet his family and greet him. There is no blame in that. The important thing is that it be with hijab and that he does not seclude himself with her.
