Salam walakum. My wife to join umra this may but i cannot go. My sister son will join my sister in makkah. Can he be my wife meheraam he is coming with his family. Pls reply Salam

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Your sister`s son is not a mahram for your wife. Thus, it is not permissible for your wife to travel with your sister`s son for `Umrah[1].

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
