Sister’s Grandson and Husband’s nephew as Mahrams

· 3 Rabiʻ I 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I’d like to know if my sister’s grandson or my husband’s nephew can travel as my Mahram with me for Umrah?

Answer

Your brother’s or sister’s grandsons are your Mahrams. However, your husband’s nephew is not considered to be your Mahram.

Therefore, it would be permissible for you to travel for Umrah with your sister’s grandson as your Mahram, but it would not be permissible for you to travel with your husband’s nephew. (Ahsanul Fataawa 5/91)

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.”
