My experimental is a 2-place, and my non-pilot wife is my passenger
almost all the time. Since I'm in an age group that experiences occasional,
although rare, heart attacks and strokes etc., I'm teaching my wife how not
only how to control the airplane, but how to use the nav radios so she can
get back down safely in case I become incapacitated. I am not a certified
instructor.
During all this, however, I remain as PIC so there is absolutely no
prohibition against what I'm doing. My wife has no aspirations to get a
pilot's license so endorsements are a non-issue, only being able to fly,
navigate, and land the airplane.

One of my students asked me if it is legal to let a friend fly his
plane.

For part 91 light plane operations, there is no rule against it. It is
legal. You remain PIC and you remain responsible for the safety of the
flight.
