The mahram status of a divorced father's wife and a grandfather's wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man is a mahram to his father's divorced wife, his grandfather's wife, and his great-grandfather's wife,

Answer:
because the verse of Allah the Exalted,
And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers marriedوَلَا تَنكِحُوا مَا نَكَحَ آبَاؤُكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ
[An-Nisa 4:22]
, is valid for all of them. He is a mahram to her, whether her father divorced her or she became a widow.
