Step son and step mother staying together alone

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Can a widow step mother and step son stay alone without a mahram. My father in law passed away 2 years back and my step mother in law says that she is my husband’s responsibility now. They stay together alone discussing things and as a wife I am not comfortable with this.

Bismillaah

A: If there is absolutely no thought of fitnah then it is permissible.

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