Greeting non-mahrams
Question
When a non-Mahram comes to my house accompanied by a Mahram, I shouldn't go and greet them right? Like two of my female cousins and my aunt. I shouldn't go to greet them, correct? Especially if one doesn't follow Islamic etiquette?
Answer
It is not advisable to become informal and casual. If you have to, then greet them from a distance.
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.
