Uncovering the faces of brothers' wives before their brother in the house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a committed young man, and my brothers live with me in the house along with their wives, and they uncover their faces in front of me. I am suffering from this, knowing that my mother tells me not to separate my brothers and orders me to be patient with it. Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is wrong. It is wrong for women to uncover their faces before their husbands' brothers. It is a disobedience to Allah and His Messenger. So, if they do not stop, I think you should not stay in this house. If you are able, leave this house and live in another place if this wrong is not removed. As for if you are unable to leave the house, then stay in a corner and do not mix with these women. Do not mix with them in an open space. Do not mix with them. Stay at the edge of a room or in a sitting area where people do not come.
