Question

Can two na-mahrams live together? I will live with my brother in law (husband's younger brother).

Answer

If correct purdah is observed and respected and his living quarter is different then it is permissible.

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.
