The answer

Marrying one's father's wife is Islamically forbidden. This applies to any woman with whom the father has entered into a valid marriage contract, whether he has consummated the marriage or not. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married" (An-Nisa: 22). The prohibition also includes a father through suckling, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "What is forbidden by lineage is forbidden by suckling."
