Question

Can my mother’s sister’s husband be a mahram to us for Hajj or Umrah?

My mother’s sister and her husband will be travelling with us?

Answer

Your mother’s sister’s husband is considered to be non-Mahram (stranger) to you. (Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah)

It is not permissible to travel for Hajj or Umrah with him.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

Who are a woman's mahrams?

“This is not permissible. If the woman is not your mahram, then this is obviously haraam and if the woman is your mahram e.g. your mother or sister then too this is not permissible and is against the Islamic teachings.”
