Our father ordered us to uncover our faces in front of our cousin; is there a sin on us for that?

Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Some of our relatives came to visit us, and among them was my cousin. My father ordered me and my sisters to uncover our faces in front of him and to eat with him. When we refused because of religion, our father threatened us, so we were forced to uncover our faces and hands. Are we sinful for that? And what should we do if this happens again?

Answer:
Yes, you are sinful for that. Uncovering the face and hands in front of a cousin is forbidden; because he is a non-mahram and not one of the mahram relatives. As for your father ordering you to do so, there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. So you should refrain from it, and disobey your father in this matter; because it is forbidden. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Obedience is only in what is right. So you should refrain from uncovering the hijab in front of non-mahram men, such as cousins and others. Yes.
