What is the ruling regarding making parda from step brothers ? From both sides.
جَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا

 

 

 

Answer

Assalaamu alaykum

A woman is not required to make Hijaab (Purdah) from her step brother, i.e. neither her consaguine brother (common father) or uterine brother (common mother).

However, this is the age of fitnah (strife/mischief/anarchy). Hence, a women should take caution not to be in seclusion or travel only with one's step brother.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
