Question

My wife to join umra this may but i cannot go. My sister son will join my sister in makkah. Can he be my wife meheraam he is coming with his family.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Your sister`s son is not a mahram for your wife. Thus, it is not permissible for your wife to travel with your sister`s son for Umrah[1].

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
