Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This questioner, the mother of Faisal, asks: Is the mother’s husband considered a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to the daughter?

The Shaykh : She means the daughter from another husband; otherwise, from him, she is his daughter.

The questioner : Is the divorced father's wife permissible for the father's son to shake hands with, and is she a mahram?

The Shaykh : The answer is yes. The divorced father's wife is a mahram for his son, even if the father divorced her.
