Hanafi Fiqh
Answered by Ustadh Salman Younas
Question: Could you share the ruling regarding sharing food or water with non-mahrams? I study at a co-educational university and my friends and I face instances where boys ask for water.
Answer: assalamu `alaykum
This would be permitted although it would be better to avoid when possible.
