Q 2:
Is my stepmother's father regarded as a Mahram (unmarriageable relative) to us and we and my mother can take off the Hijab (veil) in his presence?
A:
The stepmother's father is not regarded as a Mahram to the daughters of his son-in-law from another wife. Accordingly, they are obliged to wear Hijab in his presence.
