Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He brought her to him, and he met his wife, then she married another man, and he wants to divorce her. So, is she considered a stepdaughter to the first husband, or is she among the strangers?
Answer:
No, she is a stepdaughter. If a man marries a woman, all of her daughters are stepdaughters to him, whether from the husbands before him or the husbands after him; they are all stepdaughters until the end of her life. Even if she did not give birth to them until the age of fifty, she is a stepdaughter to the first husband who had intercourse with her. The first husband is the one for whom she is a stepdaughter. Even if he had several wives who succeeded one another with her, her daughters are stepdaughters to all of those husbands. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
