Young Male Qualifying As a Mahram
QUESTION:
My son is turning 13 next month in Muharram. Does he qualify as a Mahram for travel by flight to the next province?
ANSWER:
In principle, if your son is Baaligh (mature) or close to reaching maturity, then you may travel with him.
(و) مع (زوج أو محرم) ولو عبدا أو ذميا أو برضاع (بالغ) قيد لهما كما في النهر بحثا (عاقل والمراهق كبالغ) جوهرة
