The ruling on a woman sitting with her husband's brother in the presence of her children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A letter from Ha'il, sent by one of the sisters from there. The sender (A. S. B.) asks, saying: What is the ruling on my sitting with my husband's brother and my children in my presence?
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to sit with your husband's brother in the presence of the children, because this is seclusion, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 2:94.
However, if they are of an age to distinguish right from wrong and show respect, the seclusion is removed, such as a seven-year-old, an eight-year-old, or a ten-year-old. As for the young children under the age of seven, their presence is of no benefit and does not prevent seclusion. Therefore, the children must be seven years old or older for the seclusion to be permissible. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

A man should not be alone with a woman, for Satan is the third among them.
