Purdah
Woman going into her backyard without a scarf
Q: When I go outside to my back garden to throw something in the trashbin or do quick task, sometimes I don’t wear a headscarf or I wear it loosely. It can be inconvenient to have to put on proper hijab if I’m only going to go out for a few seconds. However, I usually peek out to see if the neighbours opposite our house have their lights on in their window and/or if they are actually looking out of the window at the time of me going to the garden. If I can see them then I will cover myself, otherwise I won’t. If a couple of strands of hair are visible then I don’t see it as an issue as they would not be able to see my hair all the way from their window. Is what I’m doing permissible?

After mummy's iddat, it was her desire to perform umrah and her second son took her Alhamdulillah. The elder son wants to take my mother, his wife and his father in law, who is also a widower, for umrah. Will it be permissable for my mother to travel like this in the company of his father in law?
