Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says to the program: Is it permissible for a woman to perform 'Umrah with her sister's son, who is twelve years old, and is he considered a mahram?
Answer:
A mahram must be of legal age. If her sister’s son has reached puberty, indicated by the appearance of one of the signs of puberty, and he is of sound mind, then he is a mahram for her. However, if he has not reached puberty, he is not a mahram. Yes.
