The Ruling on a Woman Traveling with Her Husband's Brother and Her Sister's Husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a man to take his brother's wife to her family within Riyadh, or within the Kingdom, given that his own wife and his young children are with him in the car, and his brother's wife is his wife's sister?
Answer:
This is a rule about which people ask frequently, by phone and from all over: No, no, it is not permissible. She should not go with him, not with her husband's brother, not with the husband, and not with the driver. There must be a third person with them, or a fourth, to avoid fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); and because this involves a type of seclusion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2165Sahih (Darussalam) Sahih Muslim 1341a.
If she is alone, there is a danger that something may occur between her and him, an appointment, or the whisperings of Satan may enter between them. It should be that a third person is with them: her mother, or her sister, or her brother, or so-and-so, or so-and-so, someone in whom there is no suspicion, a manner that is free from suspicion, so that she is further from Satan. This applies whether she is in the country, whether she is at school, or whether she is visiting some relatives.
Question: What if her husband is with her?
Answer: Even if her husband is with her, no.

A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitan
لا يخلون رجل بامرأة إلا كان الشيطان ثالثهماNo person should be alone with a woman except when there is a Mahram with her
لا يخلون رجل بامرأة إلا ومعها ذو محرمIf she is alone, there is a danger that something may occur between her and him, an appointment, or the whisperings of Satan may enter between them.
