Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question asking: What is the woman's religious hijab that she is required to observe in front of non-mahram men, specifically her husband's relatives, such as his brothers, his cousins, and her own relatives who are not mahram? Please issue a ruling on this, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The entire body of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered); you can say that all of it, including her hair, face, legs, and feet, is 'awrah. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Al-Ahzab 33:53] He (Mighty and Majestic) says: [An-Nur 24:31] regarding their sons, their fathers, and the fathers of their sons, the verse. It is not permissible for her to be alone with her sister's husband, nor with her husband's brother, nor to uncover herself before him, nor before her paternal uncles, nor her maternal uncles, nor her maternal aunt; they are all prohibited. If she has no husband, they are all prohibited. As for her husband's father, whether by breastfeeding or by blood, or her husband's son, whether by breastfeeding or by blood, this is prohibited. Even if it is by breastfeeding, they are all prohibited according to the scholars.

And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts.
وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ ذَٰلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّnot expose their adornment
