Pardah From A Khala’s (Mother’s Sister’s) Husband
Question
If my khala passed away, should purdah still be made from her husband?
Answer
During the lifetime of your Khala it will be necessary for you to make Purdah from her husband even though it will not be permissible for her husband to marry you (whilst he is married to your Khala). Thus, if your Khala passes away, then too it will still be necessary for you to make Purdah from her husband as he will be regarded as a complete stranger to you and in fact, now it even becomes permissible for him to marry you.
