A man married his father's ex-wife. A Saudi fatwa from an advisor at the Royal Court (video)
Abdullah Al-Mutlaq, advisor at the Saudi Royal Court and a member of the Council of Senior Scholars, issued a fatwa regarding a case that preoccupied public opinion about a man marrying his father’s ex-wife without his knowledge and having a child with her.
Abdullah bin Muhammad al-Mutlaq issued a fatwa that a man separates from his wife after learning that his father married her secretly years ago, stressing that his son from her is a legitimate son;
Because it is suspicious marriage.
Meanwhile, Al-Mutlaq warned in this regard that such an incident is one of the most serious misfortunes of misyar marriage, as this came in a question program on the phone yesterday, Monday, on Radio "The Noble Qur'an", in response to a caller.
Speaking to the program, the caller said: "A young man married a misyar marriage, and he did not tell his family, and after six years he told them that he had a son from her, and he brought his wife to his family to greet her. What is the ruling on this marriage?!
The divorced man replied: “This is not permissible, a suspicious marriage, because no one knows about the other, and this is one of the most serious misfortunes of misyar marriage.. The father and his son follow the wife, and this is not permissible, and if the boy knew about his father’s marriage, it would be like adultery, and this is forbidden. Because she became one of his mahrams (his stepmother), but the son now does not know, he is not blamed, and the boy is a legitimate child, there is no problem, because it is a suspicious marriage, but he must separate from her, and she does not need a divorce.
Al-Mutlaq added: “Sometimes the wife knows and knows her first husband and her second husband, so the mistake falls on her, and it is from her. If she had concealed the first marriage, then this is forbidden, and her marriage is forbidden.
