The Ruling on Meeting One’s Father’s Previous Wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The brother questioner says in this question: Is it permissible for me to meet my father’s previous wife, given that my father divorced her before marrying my mother?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. If your father married her and contracted the marriage with her, then you are a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her permanently. Even if your father divorced her, or if she was before your mother or after her, as long as your father contracted the marriage with her, you are a mahram to her. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
