What is meant by a non-mahram man?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Some people think that the word "foreigner" (ajnabi) means someone who is not from our country. Yes. Brother Hajjaj says that some people understand the word "foreigner" to mean someone from America or Russia or something like that, right?

Answer : That is not the case. Rather, the term "foreigner" (ajnabi) refers to one who is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry). For example, a paternal cousin is a foreigner (ajnabi), a maternal cousin is a foreigner (ajnabi), and a sister's son is not a foreigner (ajnabi). Yes, pay attention to this. I did not think this would be hidden from you, but it is good to point it out.
