Son looking at his mother with lust
Question
If a son sees his mother's butt and feels lust, does this cause hurmat e musahara, and make the mother haram for his father?
Answer
No, but he should refrain from looking with lust. This is a major sin.
Note: The women of the home should wear long and loose-fitting clothing. They should refrain from wearing transparent or tight fitting clothing which reveals the contours of the body. Through them wearing immodest and revealing clothing, they will be sinful and cause others to become sinful through looking at them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
