The Impact of a Man Saving His Brother from Certain Death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came in on the program, Honorable Shaykh Salih, he says: If a man saves his brother from certain death, does he become a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to him on account of this matter?
Answer:
This is among the beliefs of the common people; this is the ruling of the common people. Otherwise, he does not become a mahram to the woman if he saved her from a deadly situation; he does not become a mahram to her. But some of the common people say this, and there is no evidence for it, nor any basis for it. Yes.
