Allah says:
"And say to the believing women, let them be angry with their eyes, and keep their furrows, and do not show their adornment except what is visible from it. And they put their wine on their pockets and do not show their adornment except to their daughters or their fathers or the fathers of their daughters. Or their sons, or their sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their wives, or They did not possess their faith or the followers other than the first wife of the men or the children who did not appear on the women's breasts. And do not strike them with their legs to know what they hide from their adornment. [Surah Al-Nur, 31]
If the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law's sons are adults, it is necessary to cover the veil, not the veil from the son-in-law, and it is necessary to follow the rules of Shariat.
