Islam's Warning: Joking with Sister-in-Law Can Be Sinful, Says Maulana

• In Islam, a sister-in-law is 'non-mahram', requiring 'purdah' (modesty) and distance.
• Unnecessary interaction, physical proximity, or immodesty with 'non-mahram' relations is strictly forbidden ('haram').
• Actions like conversations, physical contact, or gestures that could lead to 'zina' (illicit sexual relations) are considered 'haram' and 'najayaz'.
• Brothers-in-law are advised to remain within Sharia limits when conversing with sisters-in-law.
• Obscene jokes, frivolous messaging, or non-Sharia interactions (e.g., on WhatsApp) are deemed 'haram'.

Why It Matters: Islam strictly forbids inappropriate interaction and joking with a sister-in-law, classifying it as 'non-mahram' and potentially sinful.
