Question

If I am correct, it is not permissible for a woman to show/open her hair in front of non Muslim women. So if her mum and sisters are not Muslim, does the same rule apply? Also what is the rule for her to open her hair in front of her non-Muslim father and brothers?

Answer

1. Yes

2. It is permissible provided they have some respect and values.

3. It is permissible.

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