Am I a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to my brother's stepdaughter?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My brother married a woman who had a daughter who was one year old. Will I be a mahram to this girl when she reaches maturity?
Answer:
No, you are not a mahram to her, because your father’s wife’s daughter does not become a mahram to you; rather, your father is the one who is a mahram to her, because she is his stepdaughter. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:23] So her mahram is her mother’s husband. As for you, you have no relationship with her, and she is a stranger to you.

No, you are not a mahram to her, because your father’s wife’s daughter does not become a mahram to you; rather, your father is the one who is a mahram to her, because she is his stepdaughter. Allah the Exalted said:
your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in
