The ruling on a grandmother uncovering her face before her granddaughter’s husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a grandmother uncover her face in the presence of her granddaughter’s husband, or not? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. The grandmother, whether from the father’s side or the mother’s side, may uncover her face in the presence of her granddaughter’s husband, because she is the mother of the wife. Allah the Exalted said, when He mentioned the women who are forbidden, “and the mothers of your women.” This includes the direct mother and includes the grandmother from the father’s side or the mother’s side, whether she is near or far, meaning whether she is close to the questioner or a high-up grandmother. It is all the same, because she qualifies as a mother. Yes.
