Travelling to the Haramain Sharifain with Father In-law or Son In-law
Question
A daughter In-law intends to travel to the Haramain Sharifain with her father in law (but with out the husband). Is this permissible?
Is it permissible for the mother In-law to travel to the Haramain Sharifain with the son in law?
Answer
At this time where there is overwhelming fitnah everywhere, one should safeguard oneself from doing such actions which will be the cause for people entertaining suspicions and doubts regarding himself. Hence, it is not advisable for the daughter in-law to travel alone with her father in-law. She should be accompanied by her husband.
Same as above.
