A woman must cover her face and hands from all non- men and avoid being alone with them, especially the husband's relatives. This is because frequent interaction with non-mahrams weakens shyness, emboldens the soul towards disobedience, and leads to fitna and the commission of sin. The Permanent Committee was asked a similar question and responded: "There is no harm in your brothers living with you in one dwelling, provided that your wife is modest in her dress, observes , and none of your brothers are alone with her in the house."
