What is the ruling on intermingling with men for the purpose of brotherhood and assistance in work and other matters, given the absence of sexual feelings towards them, and the repeated relapse after repentance? And what is the effect of this on the lack of facilitation of marriage, given the obstacles related to caring for a sick mother?

A Muslim woman must avoid mixing with foreign men to preserve her faith, morals, and honor. Even if she is confident in herself, others may be tempted by her. If she is forced to interact with them, she must adhere to Islamic guidelines such as wearing hijab, lowering the gaze, avoiding provocative speech, and refraining from private seclusion (khalwa). She should strive to combine marriage with filial piety towards her mother, encourage her brothers to participate in serving her, and come to an understanding with her husband to visit and serve her mother at specific times.
