Males and females eating separately
Question
We have now six members in the family because I got married. Is it necessary that all the males should eat together and all the female should sit together and eat?
Answer
Yes. Purdah should be observed between the non-mahram males and females.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
