1. Who is a Mahram (Mahram for Women):

• A Mahram is a person with whom marriage is prohibited due to close blood or marital ties, making any form of sexual relationship or marriage between them impermissible.
• Mahram relationships create a protective boundary within which certain interactions are allowed, while others are strictly prohibited.

2. Legal Prohibitions:

• Islamic law prohibits marriage between certain individuals due to close kinship or familial relationships.
• For example, marriage is not allowed between siblings, parents and children, and other close blood relatives.
• Mahram relationships are based on these legal prohibitions.

3. Marriage Between Two Girls:

• In Islam, same-sex marriage is not recognized, and Islamic jurisprudence is clear on the permissibility of marriage only between a man and a woman.
• If two girls wish to marry each other, it would not be recognized as a valid Islamic marriage, as it goes against the foundational principles of Islamic marriage.

4. Making One of Them Appear Male:

• Attempts to change a person’s gender for the purpose of facilitating a same-sex marriage do not align with Islamic teachings.
• Islam recognizes individuals based on their biological and legal gender, and changing one’s gender identity does not alter the underlying Islamic principles regarding marriage.

5. Nikah Prohibited (Invalid):

• In Islamic jurisprudence, a marriage between two individuals of the same gender is considered invalid and prohibited.
• Such marriages do not have legal or religious validity within Islamic law.

6. Hurmat Musahirah and Hurmat Surrogacy:

• “Hurmat Musahirah” refers to the prohibition of marriage between a person and their stepmother or stepdaughter due to a prior marriage between one’s parent and the stepmother or stepdaughter.
• “Hurmat Surrogacy” is not a commonly recognized term in Islamic jurisprudence. Surrogacy itself is a complex and debated topic within Islamic ethics, with varying opinions among scholars.

In summary, a Mahram in Islam is someone with whom marriage is prohibited due to close familial relationships. Islamic law does not recognize same-sex marriages, and any attempt to change a person’s gender for the purpose of facilitating such a marriage is not aligned with Islamic teachings. Therefore, marriage between two girls, even if one were to appear as male, is not recognized as a valid Islamic marriage. The concepts of “Hurmat Musahirah” and “Hurmat Surrogacy” relate to specific legal prohibitions within Islamic marriage, but surrogacy itself is a topic that has differing opinions among Islamic scholars.
