The answer

The wife's mother is forbidden to her daughter's husband. However, it is impermissible for her to sleep with him in the same bed, or to kiss him with desire, or to embrace him, because this could cause temptation. This is unless she is an old woman for whom there is no desire, in which case there is no harm in her kissing him out of mercy and compassion, but without sleeping with him.
