Is it permissible to sit with one's wife's sister, and does touching her invalidate ablution?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden to sit alone with the wife's sister or any other non- woman, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No man is alone with a woman but Satan is the third of them." The wife's sister is a non-mahram woman, and it is permissible to marry her if the wife is divorced. As for nullifying ablution, it is not nullified except by touching a woman with desire, whether she is a non-mahram or not, and the touch must be to the body without a barrier.
