Is the mother of the paternal grandfather’s second wife forbidden?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for me to uncover the mother of my paternal aunt, given that she is the second wife of my paternal grandfather?

Answer:
If her mother is the wife of your paternal grandfather, the wife of your paternal grandfather, then she is forbidden to you. Allah the Exalted said:
And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers marriedوَلَا تَنكِحُوا مَا نَكَحَ آبَاؤُكُم مِّنَ النِّسَاءِ
[An-Nisa 4:22]
The term "fathers" includes both near and distant fathers, whether on the father’s side or the mother’s side. Therefore, all the wives of your paternal grandfather are forbidden to you, and you are a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to them. Yes.
