Is the mother's husband a mahram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : Umm Sa'd asks: Is the mother's husband a mahram?
Answer: Yes, he is a mahram, provided that he has had intercourse with her, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:

and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you.

وربائبكم الاتي في حجوركم من نسائكم الاتي دخلتم بهن فإن لم تكونوا دخلتم بهن فلا جناح عليكم

[An-Nisa 4:23]
