Fatwa number ( 18767 )
Q: Two families of two brothers were living in separate houses. One of them passed away, leaving behind two sons, and his wife was pregnant and gave birth to a son. Then the boys moved with their mother to live with their maternal uncle (their father's brother) after he married the widow of their deceased brother, and they all lived in one house. The boys grew up, knowing that their maternal uncle had daughters from his first wife, and the daughters would uncover their faces in front of the boys.
until a strong bond formed between them, like that between brothers. After a period of time, one of the daughters married a man outside the family, and the boys began visiting her with her father. It is known that the married daughter has four unmarried sisters, and their mixing with the boys continues because they live in the same house. My question is: 1 - Do the three boys have the right to see the faces of the four daughters? Knowing that the daughters serve the boys by washing clothes, cooking food, etc. 2 - Do the boys have the right to marry the daughters? Knowing that the boys consider the daughters their sisters, and the daughters consider them so as well, knowing that the maternal uncle has sons and daughters from the boys' mother? 3 - What is the position of the married daughter's husband regarding the visits of his maternal uncle's sons, and does he sin by visiting them? 4 - Does the guardian sin by allowing the boys to see the daughters? 5 - What is the role of the father and mother in this?
A: The maternal uncle's daughters and the maternal uncle's daughter's daughters are non-mahram to their maternal uncle's sons. The fact that the boys' maternal uncle married their mother, or that the daughters serve their maternal uncle's sons, and the boys consider their maternal uncle's daughters as their sisters, does not permit the boys to look at their maternal uncle's daughters or their maternal uncle's daughter's daughters. It is not permissible for the daughters to
uncover their faces to them. It is permissible for any one of the boys to marry one of his maternal uncle's daughters or his maternal uncle's daughter's daughters, provided there is no milk kinship between them; because they are non-mahram to them. There is no harm in the boys visiting their maternal uncle's daughters, but without seclusion with them, with the daughters observing hijab and modesty in their clothing. Both the mother and the father sin if they consent to the boys seeing their daughters while they are uncovering their faces or not being modest. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
