Is it permissible for the husband's adult stepson to live with his stepmother and see her without her hijab?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The husband's stepson (his wife's son from a previous husband) is not a forbidden relative to his second wife. Rather, he is a stranger to her, so it is not permissible for him to be in seclusion with her. She must observe in front of him just as she observes it in front of other strangers.
