Marrying a woman whom one's father or son touched with desire Fatwa No: 215563
- Fatwa Date:22-8-2013
assalamualaikum,brother...my question is a bit confusing i guess..i want to ask that if a person touches a girl with emotion,does the girl become haram for the person's son to marry that girl?...and if the father in law touched that daughter in law with no emotion before the marriage of the son and the girl..can the son marry the girl?
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger. If a man touches a woman with or without sexual desire, this does not make her prohibited to his son or father for marriage. The woman only becomes prohibited to a man (for marriage) if his son or father married her. Prohibition takes effect upon concluding the marriage contract, even if the marriage is not consummated. For more benefit, kindly refer to Fatwa 83626.
Allaah Knows best.
