Prohibition of marrying the daughter of a divorced woman after consummation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: We seek information regarding a man who married the daughter of his ex-wife; is that permissible?
Answer: It is not permissible for a man to marry the daughter of his ex-wife if he has consummated the marriage with her, because she is a stepdaughter, and Allah has forbidden stepdaughters to His servants, as Allah the Exalted said in explaining the women who are forbidden: [Surat al-Nisa: 23]. Consummation means sexual intercourse. However, if he did not consummate the marriage with her mother, but rather contracted the marriage and then divorced her, there is no blame on him in marrying her daughter; due to the saying of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) : [Surat al-Nisa: 23].
Answer: It is not permissible for a man to marry the daughter of his ex-wife if he has consummated the marriage with her, because she is a stepdaughter, and Allah has forbidden stepdaughters to His servants, as Allah the Exalted said in explaining the women who are forbidden:
your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in
وَرَبَائِبُكُمُ اللاَّتِي فِي حُجُورِكُم مِّن نِّسَائِكُمُ اللاَّتِي دَخَلْتُم بِهِنَّBut if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you.
فَإِن لَّمْ تَكُونُواْ دَخَلْتُم بِهِنَّ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ
