Question

From whom my wife should do purdah 1) My brother 2) My brother in law. 3) My 1st cousins. 4) My 2nd cousins. 5) Her brother in laws. 6) Her 1st cousin 7) Her 2nd cousin.

Answer

1. Many bad dreams are from Shaytaan who wishes to instill fear in a person and distract his/her attention in Ibaadat. You should recite, 'Laa hawla walaa quwwata illaa billaah' and ignore the dream. Giving charity is indeed an efficient way of averting evil from one's path.
2. All the relatives in reference are Ghayr Mahrams (not prohibited in marriage). In principle, a female must maintain Hijaab from any Ghayr Mahram.
