If the husband and wife believe that it is obligatory for a woman to cover her face, is it permissible for the woman to uncover it in front of her husband's brothers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : For one who believes that the niqab is obligatory, if her family makes her wear it, does this woman who wears the niqab among her family and her husband's brothers have the right to remove this niqab, or if she believes it is obligatory for everyone who is a mahram to her?

The Shaykh : Your question is not clear. Are you speaking about the husband's opinion or her opinion?

The questioner : The husband and the wife believe that the niqab is obligatory, so she wears it. If she goes out into the street, she wears it. But if she is in her house, is it permissible for her to remove the niqab if her father-in-law or her husband's brother comes?

The Shaykh: No.

The questioner : She should remain wearing the niqab.

The Shaykh : That is, if someone who is not a mahram comes to her, his ruling is the same as that of the general public on the road, so it is not permissible.
