The questioner : Second, you ask whether it is permissible for a woman to uncover her face in front of her husband’s brothers or her sister’s husband, given the presence of her mahrams (relatives one may not marry)?
The Shaykh : We addressed this issue briefly earlier.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : We clarified that it is not permissible for a woman to uncover her face before non-mahrams, whether they are her husband’s brothers or her sisters’ husbands, because they are strangers to her. As for mahrams by blood, breastfeeding, or marriage, she may uncover what is permissible to uncover, as established in the books of Islamic jurisprudence.
