Hadith 1699B1
قَالَ يَحْيَى : سُئِلَ مَالِك هَلْ تَأْكُلُ الْمَرْأَةُ مَعَ غَيْرِ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ مِنْهَا أَوْ مَعَ غُلَامِهَا ؟ فَقَالَ مَالِك : 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
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: What is the ruling if a woman eats food with a non-mahram man or with her slave? He replied: There is nothing objectionable in it as long as it is in accordance with dignity (i.e., in a manner that is appropriate for that woman), and that is when there are other people present in that place. And he said: A woman also eats with her husband, sometimes with others whom the husband feeds, sometimes with her brother, and it is disliked for a woman to be alone with a non-mahram.
