Mother-in-law hugging her son-in-law
Question
I would like to know whether a mother in law can hug their son in law?
Answer
She is a mahram and the laws of a mahram are applicable, but we strongly discourage this on account of the abundance of fitnah nowadays.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
