Marrying the Daughter of a Wife whom One has Divorced before Consummating the Marriage

Question: A man divorced a woman before consummating the marriage Can he now marry her daughter?

Answer: One may marry her daughter if the marriage had not been Consummated, but may not marry her mother . The Qur?aan states:

"....and (it is Haraam for you to marry) those step-daughters of yours (girls who are born to your wife from another man) who are in your care and with whose mothers you have had intercourse (with whose mothers your marriage has been consummated )" If, you have not had intercourse with them (you have nor consummated your marriage with the mothers of these step-daughters') then there is no sin on you should you marry their daughters after divorcing the mothers).?

The same directive is given in a Hadith of Tirmidhi (Vol. 1 Pg. 133). See also Hidaayah (Vol.2 Pg287). And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
