Who is sinful when the son of the maternal uncle sees Muslim women who are not wearing hijab inside their home due to the door not being closed: is it the Muslim women, or their families, or must they be patient and wear the hijab always?

A woman is not permitted to remove her in her home unless she is certain that no non- men can see her, because the evidence for hijab is general, and hardship does not negate an obligation. Furthermore, the harm of uncovering is greater than the benefit of alleviation. A woman should know that her honor lies in her chastity, and her patience in enduring hardship carries a great reward and removes anxieties. The sin of looking falls upon the woman if she neglects her hijab, and upon the beholder. It is obligatory for a wealthy father to provide for his unmarried daughter, including suitable housing that ensures concealment; otherwise, he incurs sin.
