I study in a girls' school in Scotland. There are no boys in the school, however there are some male teachers. I share a room in the school with my friends. Is it Haram to take off my scarf in front of these girls only?

Accepted Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

The Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered) of a Muslim woman in front of a Muslim woman is from navel to knee. Therefore, if you are assured that alien men or non-Muslim women cannot see you then there is no harm to remove your headscarf; otherwise, it is forbidden.

Allah knows best.
