The Prohibition of a Husband's Children for Their Father's Divorced Wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: Is it permissible for a father's divorced wife to uncover herself in front of her ex-husband's children?

Answer:
Yes, she may uncover herself in front of them; because she is their father's wife, and Allah says:
And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers marriedوَلا تَنكِحُوا مَا نَكَحَ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ
[Surat al-Nisa: 22] So their father's wife is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to them, even after divorce and death, whether after he divorced her or after his death, she is a mahram to them. Yes.
