The Exposure of a Woman to a Person Lacking Legal Capacity While He is in Her Home
My sister's brother-in-law has Down syndrome and is 36 years old. His mother and father have passed away, and she wishes to bring him to live with her, her husband, and her children. Is it permissible for him to live with her, and for her to remove her hijab in front of him?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If he moves to their house, he is a foreign man, and it is not permissible to reveal oneself in front of him nor to be alone with him; because it is forbidden for him, and God knows best.
