Woman sharing a room with her brother's step-son
Question
I plan on travelling overseas with my brother. The only issue is the accommodation wherein he has requested that I share the room with his step-son. He is currently 11 / 12 years. There shall be two single beds. Please advise if this is allowed.
Answer
Though this is not haraam, but it is important that you keep him at a distance from yourself.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
