Woman making purdah from her sister in law who has inclinations to females
Question
My brothers wife says she has an inclination to females which she often has to fight... A couple of times she got caught in shaitaans trap. How should purdah be observed in front of her? Should my face be covered as well?
Answer
You do not have to cover your face before her. However, you should exercise a degree of precaution when dealing with her. You should keep a safe distance from her.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
