The answer

A man being alone with two trustworthy, religious women who adhere to the শরীয়াহ (Islamic law) guidelines for dress and speech is not considered unlawful seclusion (খুলওয়াত) – provided that there is no fear of temptation – according to what many scholars have preferred. However, it is better to avoid such situations, and it should not be repeated.
