Question

Will hurmat e musaharat be established only by verbal communication with one's mother in law?

Answer

Through illicit speech with one's mother in law, hurmat-e-musaaharah will not be established. However, one should make sincere tawbah for this haraam and exercise caution in the future.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
