Does one greet the daughter of his ex-wife who was divorced from another man?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: A man married a woman, then divorced her, and she married another man
and bore a daughter from him. Is it permissible for the first man to shake the daughter's hand?
A2: If a man marries a woman and then has intercourse with her, her daughter from another man becomes forbidden to him; because she is his stepdaughter, and she becomes one of his mahram (relatives one may not marry). However, if he divorced her mother before having intercourse with her, then her daughters from another man are not mahram to him, and hijab (the covering prescribed for women) is obligatory for them in his presence, and it is not permissible for him to shake their hands; due to the saying of Allah the Exalted in explaining the mahram in Surat al-Nisa:[An-Nisa 4:23] , and the intended meaning of "intercourse" is sexual intercourse. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you.
وَرَبَائِبُكُمُ اللاتِي فِي حُجُورِكُمْ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمُ اللاتِي دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ فَلا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ
