Question

Do I have to observe hijab from my step-daughters husband?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Your stepdaughter’s husband is not your mahram. Therefore, you will have to observe the laws of hijab in his presence.[i]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
