Can a non-Muslim be a mahram for a Muslim woman?

Can a non-Muslim be a mahram for a Muslim woman?

Question: Is it permissible for a father or a brother if they are not Muslims to be a mahram for a Muslim woman and what are the conditions of the mahram?

Answer: If the father is a disbeliever he cannot be a guardian for a Muslim woman without exception. He is absolutely not a guardian for her. I say: if the father or brother is kaafir (disbeliever) they are not a guardian for a Muslim under any circumstance and likewise they cannot be a mahram for her.
