    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 872/556/L=1434) In the question mentioned above, it is necessary for you and your sisters to observe purdah from non-mahram men. A non-mahram is one with whom nikah is not haram forever. Hence it shall be necessary for you to observe purdah from your bhabhi (sister in law) and your sisters should observe purdah from their bahnoi (brother in law).
