Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2165Sahih (Darussalam)
her mahram, whether they are relatives or not. As for those who are not her mahram, even if they are relatives such as the sons of uncles, the sons of maternal uncles, and the like, these are strangers. It is not permissible for her to be in seclusion with them; she is only to be in seclusion with her male mahram. Otherwise, Satan will be present and will make the disliked matter attractive to them.
