Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that he converted to Islam and married a Muslim woman, and his father is a Christian. Is he a mahram to his wife because she is his son's wife?

Answer:
The generality of the verse
except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathersإِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ
[An-Nur 24:31]
includes the father of the husband, even if he is a Christian. However, a Christian is not to be trusted; he is not to be trusted with a Muslim woman. It is better for her to keep her distance from him. Yes, what is it?
