Dear respected brother, I wanted to know if I had to wear hijab infront of my mom’s uncle.

Question

This is in clarification on my previous question. I know that I don't have to wear it infront of my own uncle. But what about my mom's uncles? Jazak Allahu khair brother!

Answer

Your mother's uncle (maternal or paternal) are your Mahrams as well. You do not have to observe Hijaab in front of 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.”
