Males and females eating separately

· 16 Safar 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

We have now six members in the family because I got married. Is it necessary that all the males should eat together and all the female should sit together and eat?

Answer

Yes. Purdah should be observed between the non-mahram males and females.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
