Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a brother is traveling with his sister, and she is his mahram, is it permissible for him to sleep in the same room as her, or must he have a separate room and she have another?
Answer:
It is not required for him to be in a separate room unless he fears fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for himself, in which case he should be in a separate room. However, as long as he does not fear fitnah for himself, because she is his mahram and he is a Muslim, there is no need to go to the trouble of separating them.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
