A Woman’s Veiling from Her Mahrams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is a woman sinful for not covering her face in the presence of her mahram (a relative one may not marry), such as her maternal uncle or her paternal uncle through breastfeeding?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for her to uncover herself in the presence of her mahram. This is a form of flirtation that is not permissible.
The questioner:
What is wrong with you after you have asked your wife?
The Shaykh:
No, the issue is not about covering in the presence of mahram; the issue is about covering in the presence of non-mahram men. She should cover in the presence of non-mahram men.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. You were not among those who give money to people.
The Shaykh:
We have heard some Sufi women say that girls uncover themselves in the presence of the mullahs, the mullahs you have.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
