The questioner : A man married a woman; is the woman permitted to uncover herself in front of her mother’s husband?
The Shaykh : Yes, if a man marries a woman, all of his male ascendants become mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her. So, if her mother’s husband is the woman’s maternal grandfather, she may uncover herself in front of him. However, if her mother’s husband is from a different woman than the one she married, she may not uncover herself in front of him.
The questioner : From a different woman.
The Shaykh : She may not uncover herself in front of him.
The questioner : She may not uncover herself in front of him?
The Shaykh : Yes, because he is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her.
