Question: ANSWERED: Purdah in front of Brother In laws
Assalamu Alaikum,
i wanted to ask what is the required maximum Hijab that we have to wear in front of a brother in law who is Baaligh [mature] but is young in age [12 years old]? normally, outside i wear Hijab and Niqab but in the house i do not observe Niqab with this brother in law. Is what i am doing wrong??
Was Salaam

Wa Alaikum Salam,

In the above case, Hijab should be observed, Niqab is not necessary in the house unless there is doubt of Fitnah.
