Touching one’s daughter with lust

Q: What is the Shar’i ruling regarding a person who touched his daughter with lust, will his nikaah with his wife (daughter’s mother) break?

A: If a person touches his daughter’s body with sexual desire and lust without there being a veil or cloth in between, if his daughter is nine years or older, his wife will become perpetually haraam for him, and it is compulsory upon him to separate from her. If his daughter is younger than nine years, his wife will not become haraam for him, even though he will be sinful for touching his daughter with lust.

( ولا فرق ) فيما ذكر ( بين اللمس والنظر بشهوة بين عمد ونسيان ) وخطأ وإكراه فلو أيقظ زوجته أو أيقظته هي لجماعها فمست يده بنتها المشتهاه أو يدها ابنه حرمت الأم أبدا (الدر المختار)

قال الشامي: قوله ( أو يدها ابنه ) أي المراهق كما علم مما مر وأما تقييد الفتح بكونه ابنه من غيرها فقال في النهر ليعلم ما إذا كان ابنه منها بالأولى ولا بد من التقييد بالشهوة أو ازديادها في الموضعين (رد المحتار3/35)

وكذا لو فزعت فدخلت فراش أبيها عريانة فانتشر لها أبوها تحرم عليه أمها ( وبنت ) سنها ( دون تسع ليست بمشتهاة ) به يفتى (رد المحتار3/37)
