The ruling on a man mixing with his uncle’s wives and their daughters due to living with them in the same house

Question:
His second question says: As you know, the Muslim community lives in a state of mixing between women and men, except for what Allah has spared. For example, a young man lives with his paternal uncle, his father’s full brother, who has daughters. This young man is a student, and his uncle has only one room, or rather, his uncle has made one room for him with a veranda attached to it. This young man is unable to rent out the house or rent a house of his own. What is the ruling if he mixes with his uncle’s wives and his daughters?

Answer:
It is obligatory for the young man to fear Allah and to guard against fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) with his uncle’s daughters, to lower his gaze, and not to be alone with any of them. If he does that, there is no blame on him until Allah expands his means and he finds independent housing, or he marries one of them or someone else. The point is that he must fear Allah in this matter, guard against the causes of evil, and not be alone with any of them. If he passes by them while they are uncovered, he should lower his gaze and advise them to cover themselves from him. If that is not possible, he should lower his gaze and turn away from looking at them until Allah makes a way out for him from this affliction, because the presence of women who are not covered and veiled is a great hardship for the young man and a great danger. So he must fear Allah the Exalted, adhere to chastity, ask Allah for well-being, and lower his gaze until he is able to marry one of them or someone else, or move to another place. If marriage is possible, it is better. Perhaps his uncle will not delay in marrying him off. So he should hasten to marry one of his uncle’s daughters so that it becomes a settlement for him, and so that it becomes one of the means of lowering his gaze and preserving his face. So I advise the questioner to do this and to hasten to initiate the conversation with his uncle about marriage, so that he achieves both good things: chastity, lowering the gaze, and preserving his private parts, along with marriage, which Allah and His Messenger love and for which Allah has prescribed hastening. Yes.
