The woman's 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in front of her mahram (a relative one may not marry)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Another question, Shaykh. What is the ruling on a woman's 'awrah in front of her mahram? What is the part of the 'awrah that is exposed in front of the mahram? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : The head, the neck, the arm, and the leg.

The questioner : Not the hair of the head.

The Shaykh : Yes, I said hair. I told you hair.

The questioner : The hair of the head is exposed, yes, and the face and the feet.

The Shaykh : Father.

The questioner : Okay, what about the hands if something of them is exposed, and the forearm?

The Shaykh : And the arm and the leg.

The questioner : Bosam, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. May Allah preserve you and reward us with good.
