The Prohibition of the Wife's Mother on the Husband After Divorce

Question

Is the mother of a divorced wife prohibited to her husband (the son-in-law) after the divorce? [AR_ID:2856]

Answer 1

According to Islamic jurisprudence, the mother of a divorced wife remains prohibited to her former husband (the son-in-law) after the divorce.

This prohibition is based on the principle that the relationship established through marriage extends to the family members of the wife, including her mother. Therefore, even after the dissolution of the marriage, the husband cannot marry his former mother-in-law.
