Second husband being a mahram for the wife's daughter
Question
I am getting married to a woman who already has a daughter, from a previous marriage. Would I be a Mahram for this girl, because Allah says:
وربائبكم اللاتي في حجوركم من نسائكم اللاتي دخلتم بهن فإن لم تكونوا دخلتم بهن فلا جناح عليكم
Would it be ok for me to travel with this girl?
Answer
If you marry the woman, you will be a mahram for her daughter.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
