Summary
A rabiba is the daughter of a wife, and the daughter of her son or daughter however far down, by blood or fostering. 1 She is forbidden to the husband when he has entered her mother, and most jurists do not require that she be in his custody, though Umar and Ali did. 1 2 The death of the wife before entry does not take the place of entry for most jurists, while a Hanbali view counts it. 2 The daughters of the rabiba and their daughters are forbidden by consensus. 2
