Is the daughter of my second grandfather's wife considered one of the Mahram, or is she permissible for me to marry?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The granddaughter of your grandfather from his second wife is considered a mahram. She is either an paternal aunt (your father's sister from his father's side) if she is the daughter of your paternal grandfather, or a maternal aunt (your mother's sister from her father's side) if she is the daughter of your maternal grandfather. Paternal aunts and maternal aunts—whether full sisters, half-sisters from the father's side, or half-sisters from the mother's side—are forbidden for marriage, based on the Almighty's saying: "Forbidden to you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, and your maternal aunts." Even paternal and maternal aunts through suckling are considered mahram.
