It is permissible for a woman to gather with her sister's husband in one house if privacy (khalwah) is absent, due to the presence of a mahram or a relative (dhū raḥim), along with adherence to complete lawful , and avoiding excessive informality in interaction and conversation, unless out of necessity or need.
