Q: My sister in-law has gone with her 6 month old son to her parent's house for a holiday overseas. My brother had gone to leave her. Is it permissible if my father (her father in-law) picks her up and brings her back home and be her mahram if her husband is tied up with work? Also, is her father in-law allowed to be her mahram when travelling?
A: Though it is permissible for her to travel with her father in-law, as he is her mahram, however, on account of the abundant and overwhelming fitna found nowadays and the suspicions and doubts that are created in the minds of people, it is not advisable for the daughter in-law to travel alone with her father in-law.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
