The questioner : Her other question is: If a woman greets her sister’s husband, is this valid or not?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is valid. It is permissible for a woman to greet her sister’s husband, provided that she is wearing hijab and not displaying her adornment, and provided that she does not shake his hand, because that is forbidden. It is not permissible for her to uncover her face or her hands for anyone other than her mahram (a relative one may not marry). As for the mere greeting, it is permissible for her to greet her sister’s husband and also her husband’s brother, as long as there is no seclusion with a non-mahram.
