Marrying one's daughter or step-daughter
Question
Can a husband marry his stepdaughter or even his own daughter and the marriage still be valid with his wife?
Answer
It is not permissible for him to marry his own daughter or his step-daughter i.e. his wife's daughter. The nikaah will not be valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
