The
great uncles are mahram
Question:
Is it allowed for a woman to uncover her face in the presence
of her maternal and paternal great uncles? That is, are they
considered mahram to her?
Response:
Yes, if the woman's mother or father has maternal or paternal
uncles they are considered mahram for that woman. This is
because the paternal uncle of your father is your uncle and
the maternal uncle of your father is your uncle. Similarly,
the paternal uncle of your mother and maternal uncle of your
mother are related to you and are considered your paternal
and maternal uncles.
