The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for the children of the other wife to greet their father’s wife, because she is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to them, as Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:22]. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for the children of the other wife to greet their father’s wife, because she is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to them, as Allah the Exalted said:
And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to Allah] and was evil as a way.
وَلا تَنكِحوا ما نَكَحَ ءاباؤُكُم مِنَ النِّساءِ إِلّا ما قَد سَلَفَ إِنَّهُ كانَ فاحِشَةً وَمَقتًا وَساءَ سَبيلًاThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
