The mahram status of a husband's father for a divorced woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a husband has divorced his wife, does his father become a mahram (a relative one may not marry) for the woman?
Answer:
Yes, if his son has had intercourse with her. No, rather, the mere contract suffices. The father becomes a mahram for the woman as soon as his son contracts marriage to her. Yes.
