Is a step father a mahram for one's daughter?
Question
My friend got divorced 8-9 years ago. Now she is going to marry again. She has a daughter who is now 8 years old. She wants to know what does Islam say about her daughter's relation with her husband to be. Will he be a mahram or non mahram for her daughter once she gets married to him?
Answer
He will be a mahram.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
