Q: I have a step brother (same father, different mother), one of his daughters have been recently widowed. I myself am divorced recently as well. A few people have raised a question about us getting married since my widowed niece is just half niece.
I am clear on the ruling based on Quran (Chapter 4, Ayat 23) that this not allowed.
Can I please request guidance on this please?
A: She is your niece and your mahram. Hence, it is not permissible for you to marry her.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
