Question:
Assalam alaikum,
I am a Muslim Brother.
Is my uncle e.g. chacha and mama mahram or non mahram to my wife?
Am I mahram or non mahram to my nephew and niece’s wife/husband? (Both perspectives from man and woman)
Answer:
In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
Your uncles are non-Mahram [1] to your wife [2].
You are a non-Mahram to your nephews’ wife.
And Allah Ta‘ālā knows best
