| [slm] lets see here, father, father's father all the way back , father's bothers, father's father's brothers all the way back, mother's father,mother's father's father all the way back, mother's father's brothers, mother's father's father's brothers,mother's brothers. bothers, brothers sons, brothers' sons' sons all the way down, sisters' sons, sisters' sons' sons, sisters' daughters sons and so on all the way down. Sons, sons' sons and so on. Mother's husband and ex husbands. These are all the people who you cant marry either.current husbands of your sisters are only temporarilly forbidden to you so you have to cover. did I leave anyone out? daughters husband and ex husbands,grand daughter's husbands and ex husbands and so on and so on. This seems rediculous but in large families people can be generations apart and yet the same age. Somthing about marying these people makes for funky children I think. |

| [slm]... Read surah An-Nisa. It lists them all (I think). Basically, Sis, your non-mahram is anyone you are able to marry now or in the future. Everyone else is your mahram. So if you weren't married to your husband, would you be able to marry your BIL? Yes. Non-mahram. Can you marry your cousin? Yes. Non-mahram. Can you marry your father in law? Never. Mahram. Can you marry your nephew? Never. Mahram. etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Ma-assalaamah.... |

| [slm] umm, do I have to cover my hair in front of non-muslim women??? I'm always confused since scholars say differently on this subject. |

| There's a difference of opinion on that topic as you've seen. For example, a Hanbali such as Ibn Qudamah would state the awrah of a female to another female is that of a man to another man, muslim or non-muslim (navel to knees?). The other three schools go with the view that a non-muslim woman is equivalent (in this respect) to a non-mahram man. If you choose to follow the madhab structure, you can take either position and it will be valid within this framework as it falls within the scope of acceptable ikhtilaf (scholarly disagreement) with regard to this. |
