Travelling with one’s wife’s sister
Question
Is it permissible for my wife’s sisters to travel with us (me and my wife) for example, from one town to another?
Answer
You do not serve as a Mahram to your wife’s sisters, hence it is not permissible for you to travel with them. Their Mahram should be present when travelling.

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