Question:

I have a question concering my husband and my daughter from a previous
marriage.  I have read that she became mahram to him once our marriage was
consumated. However some people have told me that she is not mahram to him in
every sense of the word.  They have said that she will have to observe hijab
in front of him when she is older ( she is only 2 years old now).  I am a
follower of Ayatollah Khomaine, my husband is a follower of Ayatollah Khu'i.
Could you please tell us the fatiwas of both of these.

Answer:

She is a total Mahram and there is no need of any Hijab between them.  She
remains his Mahram even if he does not consummate marriage with her mother.
