Conditions of the Mahram
The honorable Shaykh! When does a son become a mahram to his mother? Is it upon reaching puberty or upon gaining discernment?
The mahram, may Allah bless you! He becomes a mahram if he is an adult of sound mind. So, one who has not reached puberty is not a mahram, and one who has a defect in his intellect is not a mahram.
