[004:023] Prohibited to you (For marriage) are:- Your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, Mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (Who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone in,- no prohibition if ye have not gone in;- (Those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful;-
I'm still unclear if women is supposed to cover infront of her -Son-in-law
-Father-in-law
-And Sister's husband? I know one has to cover infront of her sister's husband, but when she has been made prohibited for her sister's husband, then does she still has to cover? the answer is yes, but why?

A woman does not need to cover infront of her son-in-law or father-in-law because they have been prohibited from her marrying them. She would need to cover infront of brother-in-laws and cousin because she can marry them ...

Remember, this verse is actually addressing men. It says ..."wives of sons preceding from your loins..." In other words, you cannot marry the former wife of your biological son. The deciding criteria when it comes to hijab is whether or not you could EVER marry that person. While sisters' husbands are off limits for now, it is not permanent. By contrast, all of the other degrees of prohibition are.

Agreed with Jenn. You don't have to cover in front of son-in-law or father-in-law. Brother-in-law you do have to cover in front of. He is only prohibited because of his current marriage but if he would divorce or be widowed he would be permissible. Your father in law is NEVER permissible even if you divorce or are widowed of your husband.
I understand your question about the b-i-l but think about it this way. If the current state (man being married to your sister) made him mahram to you then with that logic all men would be mahram to a married woman because she can't marry any of them in her current state. Make sense?

From what I understand you can remain uncovered in front of your son in laws and your father in law as they can't marry you. Your brother in laws are permissible to you so you have to cover. Meaning if your husband dies then one of his brothers may and can marry you.
