The Ruling on Addressing the Father's Wife and Visiting a Divorced Father's Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: How do we address the father's wife? And is it forbidden to visit the father's divorced wife if she did not bear children?
Answer:
Address her as your father's wife, or say "O so-and-so" and call her by her name. It is permissible for you to visit her after your father divorced her, provided she is not with a husband or another husband. You are a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, as long as your father contracted marriage with her, you remain a mahram to her. You may visit her. Even if she is divorced or with another husband, the prohibition remains; you are a mahram to her forever. You are a mahram to her forever. Yes.
