Can mufti saheb please give me a ruling on this situation
Ahmed married nadia
Nadia has a son (azhar) from a previous marriage
Now is this (azhar) son of nadia a mahram for ahmeds mother?
In short can this boy (azhar) be a a mahram for his step fathers mother(i.e step dadi) ?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, the step-son is not a Mahram for the step-fathers mother (Dadi).[i] Accordingly, Azhar is not a Mahram for his step dadi.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
