Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. What about wearing the khimar? If my father comes and wants me to take it off, should I keep wearing it? What about wearing the khimar? If my father comes and wants me to take it off, should I keep wearing it and not listen to him, or should I take it off to avoid problems?
Answer:
It is permissible for a woman to take off the khimar and uncover her face and head in the presence of her mahram (a relative one may not marry), including her father, her son, her brother, her brother's son, her sister's son, her husband's son, or her husband's father. All of these are mahram. Likewise, a person with whom she has a milk kinship (rada') that makes marriage forbidden, such as her brother through breastfeeding, her uncle through breastfeeding, or her maternal uncle through breastfeeding, and so on. What is forbidden by breastfeeding is forbidden by blood relation, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
