Is it permissible for me to breastfeed my child in front of my husband's father?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, from Makkah al-Mukarramah, a message from M. Alif, that is the code of the message. The sender says: What is the ruling on my breastfeeding in front of my uncle, my husband's father? She asks: Is it permissible or not?

Answer:
It is obligatory for a woman to cover herself and not to expose herself before her mahram (a relative one may not marry), such as her uncle or others, except for what is customary to reveal, such as her face or her hands, or what is customary to reveal. Exposing the breast before her uncle is not necessary; she should cover her breast. If something of it appears unintentionally, or if there is a need to expose it, there is no harm in that.
