Fatwa #39217 October 2001United States of America

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.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
