Question

If I marry a man who has boys and girls from a previous marriage, will the rules of Hijaab apply between myself and his sons, and between my son and his daughters?

Answer

If you marry a man who has boys and girls of a previous marriage, there will be Hijaab between your son and the girls when they are of age. Marriage between your son and these girls is permissible. Since the boys are the children of the man who is your husband, you may appear in front of them without face-covering. You may talk with them although the Shariah instructs that there should not be very close ties between step sons and their stepmother.
