The Limits of a Woman's 'Awrah (Part of the Body That Must Be Covered) in Front of Her Mahrams (Relatives One May Not Marry)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what are the limits of a woman's 'awrah in front of her mahrams?
Answer:
All of it is 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), except for the face, the palms, the head, and the feet. What is the reason for exposing it? Her breasts are exposed, her chest is exposed in front of her mahram (a relative one may not marry). Who said this? Who says this? So all of it is 'awrah, except for what is customary to expose from its extremities: her face, her palms, and her feet. There is nothing wrong with her removing her head covering; there is no prohibition in front of a mahram. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
