The Permissibility of a Woman Uncovering Her Face in the Presence of Her Daughter’s Husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The asking sister, Umm Muhammad from the city of al-Zulfi, said in her final question: “Your Eminence! Is there a sin on me if I do not uncover my face in the presence of my daughter’s husband? May Allah reward you with good.”
Answer:
It is prescribed for you to uncover it; it is not permissible to worship Allah by doing otherwise, because this is contrary to what Allah has prescribed. Your daughter’s husband is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to you, because Allah said: [Surat al-Nisa: 23]. The point is that he is a mahram. Therefore, the mother of the wife is a mahram to the husband, so you should not cover yourself from him. Rather, uncover your face for him and take the dispensation (rukhsah) that Allah has granted. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 2258Sahih (Darussalam) This is excessive strictness and difficulty, which is not befitting and is not permissible. Yes.
