They had a daughter  from this relationship. This daughter got married and has a daughter. I  engaged this girl, is it Islamically permissible to marry her?.<\/p>","answer":"<div class=\"list-group-item-text ftwa-single-answer font-nrmal\"><span class=\"line_height\"> Praise be to Allaah.\r\n<p>It is not permissible for      the zaani (adulterer) or for any of his sons to marry his illegitimate      daughter, and it is not permissible for the zaani or his sons to marry the      daughter of the illegitimate daughter.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>This girl is the daughter      of your sister through zina, so she is not permissible for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah      have mercy on him) said: It is haraam for a man to marry his illegitimate      daughter, and his illegitimate sister, and his illegitimate son&rsquo;s daughter,      and his illegitimate daughter&rsquo;s daughter, and his brother&rsquo;s or sister&rsquo;s      illegitimate daughter. This is the view of all fuqaha&rsquo;. End quote from <em> al-Mughni<\/em> (7\/91).&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>There is a difference of      opinion concerning this issue among the scholars, but this is the <em>vuew<\/em> of the majority, and it is the most cautious view.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>This does not mean that you      are a mahram to this girl and that it is permissible for you to look at her      or be alone with her. The fact that someone is haraam for marriage does not      always mean that the person is a mahram with whom it is permissible to be      alone and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah      have mercy on him) said: What is entirely haraam, namely zina, means that a      person is haraam for marriage but it does not mean that a person is a mahram      or that it is permissible to look at them.
