Summary
A stepdaughter becomes a mahram to her stepfather once he has consummated the marriage with her mother. A marriage contract alone does not make her a mahram. If this condition is met, she may shake hands with her stepfather. The fatwa notes that a misunderstanding may be involved and advises explaining the matter to her kindly.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, anak tiri akan menjadi mahram kepada ayah tirinya dengan syarat ibunya digauli dan disetubuhi.
