Is my non-Muslim brother considered a mahram?

Assalamu alaikum. I'm a convert and the only Muslim in my family. I've learned that women shouldn't travel without a mahram. My husband and I are facing difficulties, and if we were to divorce, would I be left without a mahram? I don't think so, but I wanted to ask.

As a convert myself, I feel you. Your brother can't be your mahram in Islamic law. But don't lose hope-Allah can provide a way. Maybe your husband and you can reconcile.

Sis, a non-Muslim brother isn't a mahram because he's not Muslim. Have you spoken to a local imam about your situation? May Allah ease your hardships.
