A mother covering for her daughter's husband

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Sister Umm Ibrahim, says: My mother is old and has many relatives, O Shaykh. She covers her face from my sister’s husband. Is he, O Shaykh, a mahram? She covered her face from this husband, who is her daughter’s husband?

Answer:
A mother-in-law is a mahram, as stated by Allah the Exalted in the enumeration of mahrams: “and the mothers of your wives.” If she covers her face out of modesty, there is no harm in that, and modesty brings nothing but good. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
