Is it permissible for a woman to sit with her husband and his brothers, and if so, what are the obligatory conditions for this?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to sit with her husband and his brothers? And if so, what are the obligatory conditions that must be followed in this?
The Shaykh : If the woman is covered with the Shari'ah-prescribed hijab, and her sitting is also accompanied by adherence to the Shari'ah-prescribed etiquettes; for example, she does not laugh or behave coquettishly in front of her husband's brothers, then this is permissible. However, I believe, especially in this time, that it is extremely difficult to achieve such Islamic etiquettes in our society, which has awakened to Shari'ah violations and has not yet been able to distance itself from them; therefore, the best of all good is that such gatherings do not take place in the wife's home.
