Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Is the Step Father a Mahram

The girl's parents were divorced, the mother decides to remarry. So

she now lives with her mum.

And her stepfather does she have to cover in front of her

stepfather all the time is a stepfather, her mom does the

stepfather have to provide for the girl Islamically. Once a person's

once a girl's mother remarries and consume, it's that marriage.

That is like a father now, he becomes prohibited on her in the

sense that she can't marry him now, if he was even divorced from

her mother. So she is like his daughter in a sense now. So yes,

she is a Muharram which means that you don't have to cover as you

normally do, but you'd still be careful depending on the

situation. There's been many cases of stepfathers, right? And I'm not

judging anybody here but there's been many cases of stepfathers

abusing their stepdaughters. Right? It just depends on the

situation. And if you're safe, it should be fine because he is a

Muslim now to you, right haram for you to marry. And thus you know,

the hijab laws are relaxed, but still a person should be careful

in in general
