Who should a woman observe purdah from?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q:

1. I cover my face with niqaab and I am married also. I would like to know who can see me and who can I go in front of without covering my face.

2. Do I have permission to stay without my niqaab in front of my father in law?

Bismillaah

A:

1. You can expose your face before all mahrams (those with whom nikaah is not permissible forever).

2. Yes. Your father in law is your mahram.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
