The fundamental principle is that families should not mix in their gatherings if there are non-mahrams present. Men should have a separate gathering and women should have a separate gathering, as this helps avoid temptation (fitna). However, if a gathering occurs that is free from suspicion, and the Islamic legal guidelines are observed, such as avoiding seclusion (khalwa), women maintaining their hijab, and refraining from speaking in a soft or alluring manner, then there is no harm in it.
