Question regarding Parents in-law
Hi Assalamualikum,
I have a question regarding Parents in-law,
Is parents-in-law are considered blood relation? and what are my duties to my parent in -laws?
I am male, so I am asking about my wife's parents.
Jazzakallah kyir!

Assalamu alaykum Brother Anizkhan,
May Allah keep you guided life long. It is nice to see this question come up.
As a Muslim, we have duty towards Allah and only Allah.
So once you start keeping your duty to Allah, Insha Allah, you will feel more and more peace in your being.
As far as in laws are concerned, they may be related to you, but blood relation is a relation by birth. So they have not given you birth and there is henceforth no blood relation between you and them.
As far as your way of approach with them is concerned, they are your wife's parents. So you have to respect them, it is advisable that you visit them from time to time and maintain good ties with them. By marrying a woman you become a part of her family and she becomes a part of your family, so it would be very nice if you treat them like you would treat your own parents, because I am sure you would want your wife to treat your parents like she is their daughter and they her parents.
So in Islam all things are very mutual and based on mutual understanding between partners, high morals and most importantly the bond of - humanity.
I hope you find your answer in my words and it proves to be of help to you.
Salaam,
Your brother.
