The Veiling of a Sister’s Daughters from Their Brother’s Sons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My sister’s daughters do not veil themselves from my sons on the grounds that they grew up together from a young age. What is the ruling on such a matter?
Answer:
The ruling is that it is forbidden; it is not permissible. Once they reach puberty, they must veil themselves from those who are not their mahram (relatives one may not marry), even if they grew up with them as children. Yes.
