The Mother of the Wife Unveils in Front of Her Daughter's Husband

Question
If the mother-in-law 'the wife’s mother' is of a similar generation to her daughter's husband, is it permissible for her to unveil in front of him? Especially if she is beautiful?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Her daughter's husband is considered one of her mahrams, so it is permissible for her to uncover unless she fears or he fears the occurrence of temptation, in which case she should not uncover. It is preferable, as you mentioned, to avoid temptation if there is something in the heart. And God knows best.
