The questioner : Is it permissible for a wife to sit with her husband's brother in a family setting, meaning the woman is wearing the Shari'ah-prescribed hijab?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, but she should not sit next to her husband's brother; she should sit in another direction. The best practice in such family gatherings is for the men to be in the upper part of the hall and the women in the lower part, so that they are separated from one another. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Umm Suhayb from Jordan sent me this question, saying: O honorable Shaykh.
