Is it forbidden for two sisters to stay at their friend's house in the countryside, with the girl's family present?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible for two sisters to stay overnight at their friend's house without a mahram (unmarriageable kin) present, provided that it is not a journey unless a mahram is present, and with the permission of their guardian. This is also contingent on their adherence to the Islamic hijab, avoiding impermissible mixing or private seclusion with non-mahram men, and ensuring that their stay does not harm their honor and reputation.
