The questioner:
Allah, Shaykh Salih, I have three questions. The first question: my uncle’s wife is an elderly woman; my uncle is the grandfather of my sons. Is it permissible for me to kiss her head? That is the first question. The Shaykh will answer in a moment, Abu Khalid. Okay, okay, okay.
The Shaykh:
Are you one of her mahram (a relative one may not marry)? Abu Khalid.
The questioner:
Yes, yes.
The Shaykh:
Are you one of her mahram (a relative one may not marry)?
The questioner:
The Shaykh is asking you: Are you one of her mahram (a relative one may not marry)? I am my uncle’s son-in-law; my uncle is the grandfather of my sons. She is elderly, probably over sixty years old.
The Shaykh:
Greet her without kissing, my brother, and without shaking hands.
