My mother's sister husband is mahram or non mahram for my sister.Is she needed to hijab from him.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Your mother’s sister’s husband is ghair mahram to your sister. Therefore hijaab is necessary between them.

Is the niqaab (face veil) compulsory?

“It is recorded in the Kitaabs of Fiqh that covering the nose and mouth in Salaah is Makrooh, hence covering the face in Salaah will also be considered as Makrooh.”
