Question

I had a dream that i was sitting on the floor, facing my mother-in-law who was also facing me. And between us was a quran stand with the quran on it, open at the page of surah yusuf. What does this mean?

Answer

The relationship between the mother-in-law and son-in-law should be governed by Shari'ah (Qur'aan and Hadith)

According to the Shari'ah, the son-in-law is a Mahram to the mother-in-law. However, they should display modesty and shame between them.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
