Hijab in front of cousins. If I had to live with male cousins in the same house, how is it possible for me to observe the hijab?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Am I required to even wear the hijab at home then? What if a girl has just been married and living in the same house as her brother-in- law, how is a women supposed to wear the hijab while those men are living in the same house. And what if the house is small or an apartment, that you could see each other often. Please tell me what a women must do under these circumstances if she has no other choice but to live there?

Answer

In view of your circumstances, you should dress modestly and try your level
best to adhere to the laws of Hijaab.

In an unavoidable situation, you should lower your gaze and avoid
intermingling.
