What is the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) of a woman in front of her mahram (a relative one may not marry)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, Shaykh, on this occasion, may we ask about the ruling on the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) of a woman in front of another woman, or the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) of a woman in front of her mahram (a relative one may not marry)?

The Shaykh : We have spoken about this, and there are many recordings. The 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) of a woman is her entire body except for the areas washed in wudu' (the ablution for prayer); otherwise, her head and neck are not 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). Everything else is 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered).

The questioner : In front of her mahram (a relative one may not marry) and in front of women?

The Shaykh: Yes.
