Question

Is it permissible to go on a short trip with my non-Muslim relatives along with my own husband and kids?

Answer

I hope that this response reaches you in the best of health and Imaan. Ameen inshaAllah. Jazakallahu khairan for your question. Yes, it is permissible. Muslims may deal with non-Muslims in the spirit of tolerance, sympathy, goodwill, equity, justice and kindness. What is not permitted is the kind of intimacy which may garble the distinctive hallmark of Islam. Kind treatment of parents and relatives has been emphasized in Islam. Also, when going out, A Muslim sister should observe complete Hijab as described by Islam. [Editor’s note: Hijaab book and articles at http://islameasy.org/hijab.php ]

And Allah knows best.
