Sister’s Grandson and Husband’s nephew as Mahrams
Question
I’d like to know if my sister’s grandson or my husband’s nephew can travel as my Mahram with me for Umrah?
Answer
Your brother’s or sister’s grandsons are your Mahrams. However, your husband’s nephew is not considered to be your Mahram.
Therefore, it would be permissible for you to travel for Umrah with your sister’s grandson as your Mahram, but it would not be permissible for you to travel with your husband’s nephew. (Ahsanul Fataawa 5/91)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
