Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Mubarak from Abha is with us on the line. Yes, go ahead, Mubarak. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace. Long life to you. Are you with me, my brother? Yes, yes, you are with me. May Allah preserve you. May Allah preserve you. My question is: The wife's father and mother are from a tribe, and the men of the wife's tribe—does the husband greet the mother and the wife?
Answer:
Yes, the husband of a woman greets her mother, as she is one of his mahrams. The mothers of your women are among the mahrams, so he greets his wife's mother, her grandmother, and his grandmother's grandmother. He greets them based on the explicit text of the Qur'an, which states that she is a mahram to him and he is a mahram to her. Even if she is from one tribe and he is from another, this falls under the prohibition of in-laws (musaharah). Yes.
