Which nephews can you do hajj with ?
I believe a female can only do hajj/umrah with her brother’s son or sister’s son. What about her husband’s brother’s son ? Can a female do hajj with her step-brother or stepsister’s son ?

In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
A female can make HajjUmrah with her husband or Mahram*. These are legal Mahrams according to Shariah: A nephew (brother’s son or sister’s son) and step-brother or stepsister’s son . However husband’s nephew, are not valid Mahrams hence one cannot undertake a Sharee’ journey with them e.g. HajjUmrah.
*mahram – i.e. A male relative with whom Nikah is never valid. For example, father, brother, son, paternal and maternal uncles etc.
And Allah knows Best
Wa Alaykumussalaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh
