Q: Say I am in a gathering where everyone present are my Mahrams. However, there are some people for whom this is individually not the case – hence, ‘intermingling’ is applicable to them, but not to me. Is it permissible to be present in such gatherings?
A: If they are non mahrams to you, you should not be present among them.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
