Mahram Check is a simple web app that allows you to check who is and isn't your mahram. In short, if you are a mahram to someone, it means that it is permissible to have a physical contact with the person. Please note that this explanation is not extensive, and so you should consult your ustadh/ah (Islamic teachers) if you wish to understand more about the term mahram.
