The prohibition of a maternal grandfather as a mahram to the grandson's wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is my grandfather on my mother's side considered a mahram to my wife?

Answer:
There is no doubt about that, yes, he is a mahram to your wife, because he is a father. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says, "Do not marry..." He, Mighty and Majestic, says:
the wives of your sons who areوَحَلَائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ
[An-Nisa 4:23]
They are forbidden to you. This is a direct descendant, whether through a daughter or a son. Yes.
