A Muslim woman does not have to wear hijaab in front of her non-Muslim mother's husband
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
What is the ruling regarding wearing hijab in front of my mother's husband? Neither of them are Muslim, although Alhumdulilah, they are accepting of my being Muslim. They have no children together and married after I had already moved out of the house. Would he be considered my mahram or not?

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not obligatory because no report to that effect has been narrated, so we refer to the principle that all things are permitted except those which have been expressly forbidden. As far as a mahram ( a relative whom one is permanently forbidden to marry this includes the mothers husband) for travelling is concerned, one of the conditions is that he should be a Muslim. And Allaah knows best.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
