Question

Assalamualaikum, I wanted to know whether a woman could b bare headed in her home or not. Can a woman be bare headed infront of her children in her home. I know that hair are in the "Satar" of a woman.

Answer

The hair of a female is not Satar (object of concealment) in front of Mahaarim (males she cannot permanently marry). (Hidaaya vol.1)
