What is the ruling on a woman greeting her daughter's husband with the salam?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks: Is it permissible for my daughter's husband to greet me with the salam?

Answer:
Yes, your daughter's husband is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to you. Your daughter's husband is a mahram to you. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:
Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothersحُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّهَاتُكُمْ
[An-Nisa 4:23]
up to His saying, "and the mothers of your wives." So the mother of your wife is a mahram to her, because she became forbidden to you by the contract, by the contract with her daughter. Yes.
