The questioner asks: Is it permissible for her mother and her aunt, who is her husband’s mother, to look at her daughter’s husband?

The Shaykh:
It is permissible for the wife’s mother to look at her daughter’s husband. Allah the Exalted said: “And your wives’ mothers.” He is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, so the wife’s mother is a mahram to the daughter’s husband by the explicit text of the noble verse, “And your wives’ mothers.” And the second one?

The questioner:
The husband’s mother.

The Shaykh:
What about the husband’s mother?

The questioner:
The husband’s mother, who is the aunt. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for her mother and her aunt, who is her husband’s mother, to look at her daughter’s husband?

The Shaykh:
The question is not clear. The husband’s mother may look at him because she is his mother. As for the wife’s mother, yes, she is a mahram to the daughter’s husband. Yes.
