Question Summary: Awrah of a Muslim Female in front of a non-Muslim female Question Detail:
Is the awrah of a Muslim Female in front of a non-muslim female, everything except the hands until wrist, feet upto ankle and face? Does this mean we have to stay covered accordingly, in front of domestic helpers?
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. Your understanding is correct. The awrah of a Muslim female in front of a non-Muslim female is like the awrah of a Muslim female in front of a non-mahram male meaning that only the face, hands and feet be exposed in front of non-Muslim females.[1] And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best Asim Patel Student Darul Iftaa Venda, South Africa Checked and Approved by, Mufti Ebrahim Desai. www.daruliftaa.net
