The answer

If the woman is a stranger to the two companions, then it is not permissible for them to reside with her in the same house if the rooms are not multiple or if the facilities of the house are shared. However, if the house has multiple rooms and its facilities are separate for each party, then there is no objection. In the event that it is not permissible, they must search for another residence or create multiple facilities within the house. If there is a dire necessity for them to live together and it is not possible to create multiple facilities, then necessities are estimated according to their extent.
