The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a woman from Britain asking, and she says: My mother and my sister live far from my city. She says: Sometimes my mother and my sister visit me at home. Is it permissible for them to stay overnight with us in a private room? Because my husband says this is not permissible, and it is mixing that should not happen. Is what he says correct?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
A woman from Britain says that her mother and her sister live far from her in another town. Sometimes they visit her at home. Is it permissible for the mother and the sister to stay overnight at this daughter’s home in a private room? She says: Because my husband says this is mixing and it should not happen.
The Shaykh:
As for women, there is nothing wrong with mixing between women. The mixing that is forbidden is between women and men who are not their mahram (close relatives). This is what is forbidden. As for women mixing with one another, there is no blame in it, and there is no harm in it. Yes.
