What is the ruling on a woman living with her husband in the house of the husband's relatives?

The questioner : Specifically, in the presence of the brothers of the husband's paternal cousins, knowing that the residence, food, and drink are shared.

The Shaykh : There is no harm in a woman and her husband staying with his paternal cousins, but what is forbidden is for him to go out and leave her alone in the house with only one of the men, for that is forbidden. For this reason, if a man and his brother live in a house, it is not permissible for him to go out and leave his wife and his brother together in that house. Rather, in such a situation, he must install a door that he locks on his wife, so that part of the house is for the brother and part of the house is for the wife. When he is present, he opens this door and they are all together. As for leaving his wife and his brother in the house while he goes to his job or his shop, that is forbidden and not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against this, to the extent that he was asked about the in-laws, who are the husband's relatives, and he said, "The in-laws are death," meaning that one should guard against them as one guards against death.
