A woman revealing her face to her ex-husband’s sons and her husband’s stepdaughters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
meaning that the woman testifies that she will place it, O my son.
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible for a woman to uncover her face for her husband’s sons from a previous marriage, because she is the wife of their father. Allah the Exalted says:[An-Nisa 4:22] This makes it known to everyone who contracted a marriage with her on behalf of the father; whoever the father contracted a marriage with, she becomes forbidden to the son, even if the father did not consummate the marriage. The mere contract makes her forbidden to him, whether she was with her mother or before or after. The father’s wife, the grandfather’s wife, and the great-grandfather’s wife are all forbidden at the moment of the contract.
The questioner:
Regarding camels and the grandson.
The Shaykh:
Yes. Yes, indeed, the stepdaughters. If a man marries a woman who has daughters from a previous husband, or if they reveal themselves to him, or if he divorced her and then married her daughters after that, they may reveal themselves to him, as long as he has married their mother, making them his stepdaughters.[An-Nisa 4:23] However, this requires actual consummation; the marriage contract alone is not sufficient.

And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married

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
