Question:
He asks and says: Honorable Shaykh, is my maternal uncle's wife a mahram for me? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2], and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions. The maternal uncle's wife is not a mahram because she is a stranger. Those who are prohibited by marriage (muharramah) are limited in number: the wife's mother and the wife's daughter from whom he has had intercourse. These are the ones prohibited by marriage (muharramah). The wife's mother, whether by blood or by breastfeeding, and her daughter, whether by blood or by breastfeeding.
