Is our parent in law our mahram? I have come across quoting a hadith that father in law is death.
Answer
We have come across a Hadith, 'Brother-in-law is death.'
The father-in-law is a Mahram. However, if there is a fear of illicit relationship between the father-in-law and daughter-in-law, then strict Hijaab must be observed.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
