Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Is it permissible for my sisters to sit with their sisters' husbands, talk, and eat together, and what are the limits of that? Knowing that they are all married, with their wives, and they wear the hijab while sitting together or eating. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As for eating, it is not permissible for women to eat with men who are not their mahram (a relative one may not marry), even if they are the husbands of their close relatives, for they are strangers. It is not permissible for a woman to eat with a stranger, due to the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and the exposure of part of her body. As for sitting without ikhtilat (free mixing of men and women), where the women sit in a separate section, keeping a distance from the men, and conversation takes place between them, there is nothing wrong with this if the fitnah is avoided. Yes.
