Question
A criminal tried to rape his wife’s daughter
Answer
Praise be to Allah.
This girl has to tell her mother and her brothers so that they can put
a stop to this crime before it happens. The girl must not sit with him
in the place where he is sitting, rather she must keep away from him
even if he is her mahram. The mahram – even if he is a father or brother
– if there is no guarantee that he can be trusted (Allaah forbid), then
it is not permissible to be near him, rather the guardian should prevent
that from happening. If that can only be achieved by punishing or imprisoning
him, then so be it. Whatever the case, this girl has to take every precaution
to prevent this evil from happening.
