Answered by Ustadha Umm Abdullah
Question:
Can someone marry his own sons widow?
Answer:
In Islam, there are certain relatives that become permanently forbidden to marry. Allah Ta’ala mentions each of these relatives in Surah Nisa’, among those, He says;
وَحَلَائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَصْلَابِكُمْ
“The wives of your sons who were born of you(the wives of your biological sons).”
[Surah Nisa: 23]
From the above verse, it has been established that marriage with the wife of one’s son is forbidden.
Only Allah Ta’ala knows best
