    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 988/D=143/K=1432) (1) You are not a mahram of your mamani and chachi. (2) By "one can see uncovered….." if you mean that you happen to see accidentally then there is no sin or if by ‘chest’ you mean the upper part of chest, then it is allowable. But, this ruling is when there is no fear of fitna from both sides: قال فى الدر ومن محرمه الى الراس والوجه والصدر والساق والعضو ان امن شهوته وشهوتها . (ص: 527/ج:9) شامي زكريا)
