The Divorced Woman Uncovers Her Face Before the Father of Her First Husband

Question :

Is it permissible for the divorced woman, who has married another man, to uncover her face before the father of her first husband?

Answer:

It is permissible for her to do this, since he is a Marham to her, even if his son has divorced her, or left her a widow, whether they were all from lineage or fostering,according to the Words of Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful:
"And marry not women whom your fathers married."

-and the Words of Him, Most Glorified, in which He makes clear those women whom it is forbidden to marry:
"the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins."

and: "who spring from your own loins" excludes adopted sons. Some of the Arabs in the Jahiliyyah used to adopt boys, so Allah excluded them by this condition and invalidated adoption in Islam. As for fostering, the ruling on it is the same as that of lineage, according to the Hadith of the Prophet:
"What is unlawful by reason of lineage is unlawful by reason of fostering."
