What is the ruling on a woman being in seclusion with her daughter's husband?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it forbidden for a woman to be in seclusion with her daughter's husband?

Answer:
Her daughter's husband is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, but some women have a great deal of shyness, and it is better that she not veil herself from him and that she take the rukhsah (dispensation)
Allah the Most High loves that His permissions be practicedإن الله يحب أن تؤتى رخصه
Bulugh al-Maram 2:341
. It is a defect in a woman for her to refrain from her mahrams.
However, if there is another reason, such as that the man is not to be trusted and that he does such and such, and she sees something in him that is not appropriate, then it is her right to refrain if there are reasons for it.
