Question

I am in niqab. What is the prescribed time limit for removal of the niqab? It will be done in the presence of my brother.

Answer

If the boy gets an opportunity to glance at you in some way (at your home), there is no harm in doing so. This can be done by you passing a particular area when he can take a quick glance at you (with the intention of marriage).

This would barely take a few seconds.
