Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by DarulIftaBirmingham

Answered by: Shaykh Ahmed Bin Mohamed Umarji

Question:

It’s necessary to wear a niqab In Front of your brother-in-law?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

The brother is a non-mahram. The laws of hijaab will be applicable to a greater extent with the brother-in-law.

There is more potential for sin between the two than others.

The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) warned against such saying, “The brother in law is death.”1

Only Allah knows best
