Yes i mean is there any pRophit of Allah who was living in a joint family system?
Im confused because if brother in law and father in law are Na mehram then how joint family system would be allowed?
It's 'allowed' as long as you are doing purdah in front of your na-mehram. So covered head to toe in front of FIL and BIL...whenever you encounter them...kitchen, eating, cleaning, watching TV etc. You are also entitled to your own living quarters as per your husbands income/ability. This space is yours only to do as you please.
Usually those scenarios are unavoidable and an inconvenience. No one really gets a room totally to themselves and there are many times you might be caught without your head covered or whatever...so Islam i believe discourages joint family...but it's not like it's haram. It is highly encouraged to have your own separate living area for comfort and peace of mine of the couple. I dom't have the proper references for it but if yoy post in religion and scripture, or even do a quick google search you will find many answers on the topic with references to hadith etc.
Father in law...?? As per my information father in law is mehram..rest as you keep yourself in perda while going outside and mix gathering and all...you should keep yourself in perda if your living in joint family system...and your husband couldnt afford another home for you...otherwise its allowed to have another place for your spouse as long as your husband can afford it and serve his parents easily.
And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful. (23)
father in low and brother in law they both are na mehram ..
Hmm it means parda is important and the solution .. Thanks for your reply :)
Father in law is mehram.
Surat An-Nūr [24:31] And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers,* their husband's fathers*, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.
