Fatwa #19627 August 2000Pakistan

I am residing with my wife and her adult two sisters.What rights do I have over them, as regards their behaviour?

Answer

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'The brother-in-law is death
(to the sister-in-law).

In view of the Hadith mentioned, you should exercise strict Hijaab with your
sister-in-law. Do not look at them or talk unnecessarily.
