Husband being over friendly with na mahram women

· 23 Rabiʻ II 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Am I wrong to feel hurt and upset when my husband who claims to be innocent at home is over friendly when meeting female family members or
friends of mine outside. He also likes to play around and touch, poke, prod my mother, sister in law, cousins and thinks he's just playful and innocent and thinks nothing of it. I see more to his behaviour and feel disgusted. He even accidently bumps into females but I know its on purpose. What is wrong with him? Or am I wrong for being so angry and hurt?

Answer

Definitely it is wrong for him to behave in this manner.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) 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.”
