Muwatta MalikHadith Number 36

قَالَ يَحْيَى: سُئِلَ مَالِكٌ: هَلْ تَأْكُلُ الْمَرْأَةُ مَعَ غَيْرِ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ مِنْهَا أَوْ مَعَ غُلَامِهَا؟ فَقَالَ مَالِكٌ: " لَيْسَ بِذَلِكَ بَأْسٌ، إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى وَجْهِ مَا يُعْرَفُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ مَعَهُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ، قَالَ: وَقَدْ تَأْكُلُ الْمَرْأَةُ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا، وَمَعَ غَيْرِهِ مِمَّنْ يُؤَاكِلُهُ، أَوْ مَعَ أَخِيهَا عَلَى مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ، وَيُكْرَهُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَخْلُوَ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا حُرْمَةٌ "

Yahya Narrated from:

Malik was asked, "Can a woman eat with other than her relative or slave?" Malik said, "There is no harm in that if it is in a manner which is accepted for a woman to eat with men." Malik said, "A woman sometimes eats with her husband and with others he dines with or with her brother in the same way. It is disapproved of for a woman to be alone with a man when there is no relationship between them by blood, marriage or suckling that would prevent him marrying her."
