Parts that a Woman Is Permitted to Expose in Front of Her Mahrams

Question

What is the awrah of women in front of her mahram(brother, nephew etc)?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The most correct opinion in our view regarding the limits of a woman’s ‘Awrah in front of her Mahrams is that she can reveal her face, head, neck, hands and feet; so it is forbidden for her to expose other than these parts in front of her Mahrams.

Allah knows best.
