Answer
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'The brother-in-law is death (to the sister-in-law).
In view of the Hadith mentioned, you should exercise strict Hijaab with your sister-in-law. Do not look at them or talk unnecessarily.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
