The ruling on a woman not veiling herself from her husband's brother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, who used the code name Ali A, says: Some women in our village do not veil themselves from their husband's brother, and they say that he is like a brother to them. What is the ruling on that? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
The ruling is that this is strictly forbidden, because the husband's brother or his uncle are all non-mahram (foreigners). It is not permissible for a woman to uncover herself before them because they are non-mahram. This is the *hamu* (husband's relatives) about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The *hamu* is the husband's relative. So there is no doubt that she is mistaken in this action, and she must repent to Allah the Exalted and Majestic by veiling herself from her husband's brother because he is a non-mahram to her.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
