Sitting with Non-Mahram

Question
Is it permissible for me to sit with my husband's brother, meaning I stay in my hijab, but I sit with him in the same room with the entire family present?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is best and preferable not to sit with non-mahrams except for necessity to avoid temptation. If you fear temptation, it is not permissible at all. And God knows best.
