Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is the mother's husband considered a mahram (forbidden relative) such that it is permissible to look at him? I know that some of them are among those who stir the hearts?
Answer:
Yes, the mother's husband is one of the mahram (a relative one may not marry). When Allah the Exalted mentioned the prohibitions regarding marriage, He said:[An-Nisa 4:23] Therefore, the daughter of a wife from another man is a mahram for him. It is permissible for her to look at him, and for him to look at her, without desire. However, if fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) is feared, then this is not permissible, even with mahram. If fitnah is feared, one must be cautious and careful, even if it is with the mahram himself.

your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in
وَرَبَائِبُكُمُ اللَّاتِي فِي حُجُورِكُم مِّن نِّسَائِكُمُ اللَّاتِي دَخَلْتُم بِهِنَّ
