Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Are my wife\u2019s non muslim close relatives her Mahram? Does she have to wear Hijab in front of them?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As-sal\u0101mu \u2018alaykum wa-rahmatull\u0101hi wa-barak\u0101tuh.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A woman\u2019s Mahram is a person whom she is never permitted to marry because of their close blood relationship (such as her father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc., and her son, grandson, great-grandson, etc., her paternal and maternal uncles, her brother, brother\u2019s son and sister\u2019s son), or because of breastfeeding (such as the brother and husband of the woman who breastfed her), or because they are related by marriage (such as the mother\u2019s husband, the husband\u2019s father, grandfather, etc., and the husband\u2019s son, grandson, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n

Such relatives will be considered a woman\u2019s Mahram even though they may be non-Muslims, thus Hijab will not be necessary with them. [1]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

However, if there is a fear of temptation (fitna), one must avoid uncovering in front of such a person, especially when we live in a time where immorality and immodesty is a norm in non-Muslims. The jurists (fuqaha) have stated that a female must cover, even in front of Mahrams if there is a fear of temptation or desire.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Allah Ta\u2019\u0101la Knows Best<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
