Relationship between daughter and stepfather

· 6 Muharram 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can you please advise me on the following matter:

A girl was married and is now divorced from her husband. There was a child (female) from that marriage. The girl is now going to perform Nikah with someone else.

What is the position/relationship of the child (who is now reaching puberty) to her stepfather? Is the stepfather her mahram or non-mahram?

Answer

After the girl gets married to the man, the man will become a mahram for her daughter as nikaah between him and her daughter will be haraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
