The ruling on a woman covering her face before her aunt’s husband and her maternal aunt’s husband, and whether they are mahram (relatives one may not marry) or non-mahram (strangers)?

Question:
A letter from A.M.J. in the Yemeni Republic sent a number of questions, stating in the first: Is it permissible to meet one’s aunt’s husband or one’s maternal aunt’s husband without covering the face, or is it obligatory to veil from them? And are they strangers to the woman, even though they are from the family?

Answer:
Yes, the maternal aunt’s husband and the paternal aunt’s husband are strangers to the woman, so it is not permissible for her to uncover her face in their presence, because they are strangers to her. Even if they are the husbands of her maternal aunt or her relative, they are strangers to her. So she must veil from them and not show any part of her body that is not permissible to show in their presence. Yes.
