Question

what the saying says about muslim woman should do pardah from their khala's nd phuphos husbands ?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

We do not know what saying you are referring to.

In principle, the Khala’s husband and Phupho’s husband are Ghair Mahram (Unless they marry a Mahram, for example, the Khala marries one’s Chacha). As such, the laws of Hijāb should be observed in front of them.[1]

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.”
