I raised an orphan girl and then married her off; is it permissible for her to sit with us?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I have a daughter who is an orphan of both parents, and she has reached maturity, and I married her off. Is it permissible for me to see her and for her to sit with us with the mother of my children, or not?

Answer:
No, you are not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, unless she was breastfed by your wife or one of your close female relatives, such as your daughters or sisters, in which case there would be a milk kinship between you, making you a mahram to her through breastfeeding. However, if there is no breastfeeding, you are not a mahram to her. You have done well toward her, and may Allah reward you with good. As for the marriage, the Sharia court should marry her off. Yes.
