Brother in law and sister in law observing strict purdah
Q: I recently heard someone say that it is permissible for the sister-in-law to not make parda from her brother-in-law when:
1. There is no scope of fitna.
2. When it becomes difficult for her to leave her own room for basic needs.
My friend has recently married into a family of 6. They live in a small flat. Her brother-in- law is 6 years younger than her and she claims he is an actual replica of her brother in her maternal home. There isn't a chance that they can ever be alone. It becomes difficult for her to constantly be in her cloak, burkha and pardah the entire day almost as if she is at a guests home and not in a home that she has a right to stay in. What is the ruling regarding this?
