Mother serving as a Mahram for her daughter?

· 16 Muharram 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Q. I am married and live with my mother and sister.One Alim said that my mother will be a Mahram for my sister if we all have to travel together. Is this correct?

Answer

Your mother is not a Mahram for your sister when travelling. If your sister wishes to travel for a distance of approx. 78kms or more, she has to be accompanied by a male relative who is a Mahram to her, eg, her uncle, Baligh nephew etc.

And Allah 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.”
