Ruling on a man meeting his son’s ex-wife after her divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is a message we received from the questioner (M. N. L) from Riyadh. He says: I married a woman and she stayed with me for a period, then I divorced her and she married a man after me. He asks: Is it permissible for her to meet my father after I divorced her and to greet him?
Answer: There is no harm in that; because Allah said: [Surat al-Nisa: 23], so she is among the wives of the sons, even if the son divorced her. Yes, she is a mahram to her father. Yes.
The presenter: Meaning: the mahram status between her and her father.
The Shaykh: It remains... it remains... Yes.
The presenter: It remains even if he divorced her?
The Shaykh: Yes, just as a father’s wife, if her father divorced her, she is a mahram to him. Allah said: [Surat al-Nisa: 22], so if her father divorced her, she is a mahram to the children, and likewise the wives of the sons. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: There is no harm in that; because Allah said:
and the wives of your sons
وَحَلائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمُThe presenter: Meaning: the mahram status between her and her father.
The Shaykh: It remains... it remains... Yes.
The presenter: It remains even if he divorced her?
The Shaykh: Yes, just as a father’s wife, if her father divorced her, she is a mahram to him. Allah said:
And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married
وَلا تَنكِحُوا مَا نَكَحَ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
