QUESTION:
Assalamu alaikum w.w,
I just wanted to ask is your sisters grandson your mahram?
Jzk khair for your time and efforts.
ANSWER:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, the children of one’s sibling, however low the progeny goes, are all classed as Mahram. [1]
And Allah Ta’ālā Knows Best
