Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My maternal grandfather: are his other wives, other than my maternal grandmother, mahram to me?
The Shaykh : Yes, the wives of your maternal grandfather are mahram to you because they are the wives of your fathers. The father of the mother is among your ancestors, and since he is among your ancestors, it was mentioned earlier that the descendants of a husband become mahram to his wife. Therefore, you are among the descendants of their husband, or among the descendants of their husbands, so you are mahram to them.
