"If the wife is divorced or dies after seclusion, they become permissible"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "If the wife is divorced or dies after seclusion, they become permissible" Do you have "after seclusion" in your text?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If the wife is divorced before consummation, even if it is after seclusion, or if she dies after seclusion, they become permissible. By seclusion, it is meant that he is alone with her away from people, and by consummation, it is meant intercourse. So, if the wife is divorced before consummation, or if she dies after seclusion—no, if the wife dies before consummation, even if it is after seclusion, or if she dies after seclusion, they become permissible, because Allah made it a condition for the prohibition of stepdaughters that one must have had intercourse with their mother.
