These are what are explicitly mentioned, don't know about what else:

24.31 And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display
their beauty and ornaments except what (ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and
not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their
brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male
attendants free of sexual desires, or small children who have no carnal of women; and that they should not strike their feet in
order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah in repentance, that
ye may be successful.

This is from islam-qa.com

The ulamaa’ have listed five conditions for a person to be considered a mahram. He should be male, Muslim, adult, and of sound mind, and he should be a relative to whom marriage is permanently forbidden, such as a father, brother, paternal uncle, maternal uncle, father in law, mother’s husband or brother through radaa’ah (breastfeeding), etc. (as opposed to relatives to whom marriage is temporarily forbidden, such as a sister’s husband, paternal aunt’s husband, maternal aunt’s husband).

Salam'alaykum,

Even if the father-in-law is not muslim, you still don't need to cover
in front of him, because he's your mother's husband and thus, forbidden
for you to marry.  Make a search on islam-qa.com, some people asked
similar questions.  On a side note, my mother, after divorcing from my
father, married another man (non-muslim), but I cover in front of him,
just because I feel more comfortable that way.  However, I understand that
Allah has given me the right to uncover if I wish to.

wassalam

Assalamu'alaikum,

Jazakallah for your responses (Re: Non-Muslim father-in-law = mahram?)

I did look up at the website, but can't find the answer.

I'd appreciate if someone can help me with this.

Jazakallah
wassalam :-)

Question:


What is the ruling regarding wearing hijab in front of my mother's
husband? Neither of them are Muslim, although Alhumdulilah, they are
accepting of my being Muslim. They have no children together and married
after I had already moved out of the house. Would he be considered my
mahram or not?
Juzak Allah kheir

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

It is not obligatory because no report to that effect has been
narrated, so we refer to the principle that all things are permitted except
those which have been expressly forbidden. As far as a mahram ( a relative
whom one is permanently forbidden to marry – this includes the mother’s
husband) for travelling is concerned, one of the conditions is that he
should be a Muslim. And Allaah knows best.

Jazakallah for your posts...

Just wanna share.. this is what I found out...

Actually... when I was young I heard that if your father or father-in-law or whatever is not Muslim, then that person can't be your mahram...

So... well, a bit of confusion on my side, there, hence my question...

But a friend cleared that up, alhamdulillah... and it goes in line with the above posts... he said that eventhough the aqidah is different, but the mahram status stays the same, as the nasab (lineage?) is the same...

wallahua'lam
