Is a mother can her adult son to bless him?

If it is yes to daughter & no to daughter in law then why it is, father or father in law is mehram to both of them

 

Answer

 

Muhtaram / Muhtaramah

 

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāh wa-barakātuh.

 

1. A father in law is a mahram to his daughter-in-law, just as a father is a mahram to his daughter.

2. A father can kiss his daughter to bless her.

3. A father in law should avoid kissing his daughter-in-law, as there is a fear of fitnah. If precaution is not exercised, such fitnah may result in a permanent breakdown of nikah between his son and daughter-in-law, based on the laws of hurmatul musaharah.

4. A mother can kiss her adult son to bless him.

 

And Allah knows best
