Is the daughter's husband a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her mother or not?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner asks: Is the daughter's husband a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her mother or not? There is a narration from Imam Ahmad that he is a mahram for the obligatory Hajj, on the grounds that he is not included among the mahrams in the verse from Surat al-Nur: "And do not display their adornment except to their husbands." May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Abu.

The questioner : And that is all.

The Shaykh : Yes? Is it? Is it?

The Shaykh : There is no doubt that the daughter's husband is a mahram to her mother. This is based on the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, in Surat al-Nisa:
your wives' mothersوَأُمَّهَاتُ نِسَائِكُمْ
[An-Nisa 4:23]
meaning that they are among the mahrams.
