The answer

It is not permissible for a man to enter upon his non-mahram female relatives, and they are obligated to veil themselves from him and cover their entire bodies. It is not permissible for them to display their adornments except to their mahram relatives. If the visit necessitates entering upon non-mahram women, then they must cover themselves and wear the legal hijab. It is not permissible to shake their hands or to be alone with them. Maintaining kinship ties is possible while avoiding religiously forbidden acts.
