Children of a lady being non-mahrams to her husband's children from another wife

· 29 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I'd like to know when a lady who has her own kids remarries a man who also has his own children, are the children mahram unto each other?

Answer

The children are not mahram for each other and thus purdah will have to be observed among themselves.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
