Covering in front of other women

 

Is it ok for a non Muslim relative of the same sex to wax the area of the legs above the knee? If the intention is to beautify oneself for their husband?

Al-Salam `alaykum

This question was answered previously by Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam:

'Allama Ibn 'Abidin, one of the greatest of the later Hanafi scholars, writes,

    "It is not lawful for a Muslim women to reveal herself (i.e. those portions she needs to conceal in front of non-mahram men) in front of a Jewish, Christian or Polytheist women, unless it is her slave girl ( Radd al-Muhtar 5:238).

And Allah knows best.
