The Concept of Mehrams

 Mahram refers to a person with whom marriage is permanently prohibited due to close blood relation, foster relation, or marriage ties. Mahram relationships establish a level of physical and emotional intimacy that prohibits certain interactions between individuals.

Cousins, on the other hand, are not considered mahram in Islam. Although they are blood relatives, they are not considered immediate family members. Islam considers marriage between first cousins permissible, and this is practiced in some cultures.

However, while cousins are not considered mahram, Islam still emphasizes the importance of modesty and appropriate behavior between cousins of opposite genders. Therefore, it is recommended for cousins to maintain appropriate boundaries and not engage in any inappropriate behavior or interactions that could lead to haram activities
