Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner: If you please, may I ask a question?
The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
The questioner: A question: What is not permissible for the husband's paternal uncle to see of the woman? Ah?!
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: The husband's paternal uncle or the husband's maternal uncle.
The Shaykh: The husband's paternal uncle is a stranger to the wife.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: So he sees of her only what a stranger sees.
The questioner: And if she is wearing a head covering?
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you. Did you understand the answer?
The questioner: Yes, meaning it is permissible for him to see the hands and the face.
The Shaykh: And so why do you say "if she is wearing a head covering," when you have understood the answer, the second question is dropped.
The questioner: Yes, meaning so it is not permissible for him to see anything of her?
The Shaykh: Except the face and the hands.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: And this means that it is obligatory for her to wear a head covering in his presence.
The questioner: Yes, okay. What about the in-laws, the relatives?
The Shaykh: Likewise, the same ruling.
The questioner: Ah, and if she reveals herself to the in-laws?
The Shaykh: What do you mean, may Allah guide you, by the word "reveals"?
The questioner: She reveals the face and the hands!
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you!! I am telling you it is the same ruling. What does "the same ruling" mean?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh: What did we agree upon regarding the man's paternal uncle, how does she appear before him?
The questioner: She appears only with the face and the hands.
The Shaykh: Yes, the same ruling.
The questioner: Ah, but of course without any handshake or anything?!
The Shaykh: Absolutely not, and nothing is permissible except that she appears with all modesty and dignity, and she does not reveal of her body except her face and her hands.
The questioner: Ah, yes, there is a sister who wants to speak with you, the same question.
The Shaykh: The same question?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh: Ah, okay.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner: My lord, when the girl wants to get married and knows our traditions and the customs of people today that we are following, and she is wearing a head covering, ah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: For example, when her paternal uncle or her paternal cousin comes, when she goes out, he greets her, ah, what should her position be? Does she keep the head covering on, meaning she puts on a white head covering or wears gloves or something?
The Shaykh: Ask her if she got the answer to this question.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Ask her.
The questioner: Meaning her paternal uncle, her paternal cousin, it is not that...
The Shaykh: Ask her, ask her what you asked before, ask her if she got the answer.
The questioner: Got the answer?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Meaning the sons of her father's paternal uncle come, the sons of her paternal uncle come.
The Shaykh: There is no power nor strength except in Allah, but she does not reveal except her face and her hands, and she does not adorn herself before them at all.
The questioner: Ah, okay, let's go, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : Goodbye.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner: Now it has become a new fashion, the veiled bride's uncle, meaning, they said: they do makeup for the veiled women.
The Shaykh: My dear.The questioner: Meaning she remains, of course, in her full adornment, her face with powder and makeup, he comes to put this veil on her, hey, like this, covering her hair only, so this is from their side.
The questioner: If you please, may I ask a question?
The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
