A non-mahram man remaining with a woman in the same house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a man to remain in the house with my wife, while they are in two separate rooms with a door locked by a key?
Answer:
In the same house? No, not in the same house. But if he is in a different house, though adjacent to the outer house, there is no harm, yes. But if he is under one wall and in the same house, it is not permissible, even if he is in one room and she is in another; Satan will come to them and incite them, yes. Opening the doors is easy, yes.
