أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الطَّرَائِفِيُّ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى: {وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا مَا نَكَحَ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ} [النساء: ٢٢]، وَقَوْلِهِ: {وَحَلَائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمْ} [النساء: ٢٣] يَقُولُ: " كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ تَزَوَّجَهَا أَبُوكَ أَوِ ابْنُكَ دَخَلَ بِهَا أَوْ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا فَهِيَ حَرَامٌ عَلَيْكَ ".

"And the wives of your sons." [Surah al-Nisa: 23] (said): Every woman whom your father or your son has married, whether he had intercourse with her or not, is forbidden to you.

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي حُرَّةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً، فَطَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا أَيَتَزَوَّجُهَا أَبُوهُ؟ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: " لَا " قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {وَحَلَائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَصْلَابِكُمْ} [النساء: ٢٣]، قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَصْلَابِكُمْ لِئَلَّا يَدْخُلَ فِيهِ أَزْوَاجُ الْأَدْعِيَاءِ وَهُوَ مِثْلُ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى لِنَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {فَلَمَّا قَضَى زَيْدٌ مِنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا لِكَيْلَا يَكُونَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌ فِي أَزْوَاجِ أَدْعِيَائِهِمْ}، فَحَلِيلَةُ ابْنِ الْوَلَدِ، وَإِنْ سَفَلَ وَحَلِيلَةُ الِابْنِ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ دَاخِلَتَانِ فِي التَّحْرِيمِ، وَهَذَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِ الشَّافِعِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي كِتَابِ الرَّضَاعِ.
Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about a man who, after marrying, divorced his wife before having intercourse with her: may his father marry that woman? Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: No. Allah says: "And the wives of your sons who are from your own loins." [Surah al-Nisa: 23]
The Shaykh said: He only said "from your own loins", and Allah knows best, so that the wives of adopted sons would not be included in it. It is like what Allah said to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "So when Zayd had fulfilled his need of her, We married her to you, so that there would be no difficulty for the believers concerning the wives of their adopted sons." [Surah al-Ahzab: 37] So the wife of a grandson, or of anyone further down, and the wife of a son through nursing are also included in the prohibition.
