Wives uncovering their faces before their husband's brothers and eating with them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: We are married brothers living in one house, and our wives uncover their faces in front of all the brothers. Sometimes we eat together. Is this permissible?

Answer:
No, this is forbidden. It is not permissible for a woman to uncover her face in front of someone who is not one of her mahram (a relative one may not marry), nor is it permissible for her to eat from the same plate as him. This is not permissible. Yes, let the women be separate and you be separate. Yes.
