The answer

There is no harm in a woman living with her son's two companions if the dwelling is spacious, has multiple facilities, and there is security from (private seclusion), immodesty, and unlawful mixing. However, if its facilities are shared, it is not permissible because it is a place where forbidden acts are likely to occur, and the woman's age does not make it permissible. If there is a necessity for the dwelling, then all precautions must be taken to avoid anything that leads to forbidden acts.
