i have a question

whoknow? wrote: salamz everyone, i would like to ask a serious question, and i would greatly appreciate an honest islamic response, not a cultural "we never do that" response a member of his family(even though i have no one in mind, this isn't even on the table right now) told me that if i get re-married that my daughter couldn't live with me(it's haram for me, but not for him). my mother confirmed this, and a friend confirmed it as well. this is immensely troubling to me(as i said i have is this true? it can't be. it sounds like i have to make a decision whether to be happy with a man who could(and again i have no one in mind, this would be very far in the future) make me happy, or my daughter who makes me happy. it doesn't sound like allah who speaks of family and how important it is. plz give me some honest advice here. thanx

Mahrams (i.e. forbidden to marry permanently forever at anytime):

• Step father (with the condition that both step father and one�s mother have been alone together)
• Fathers and above (i.e. grandfathers, great grandfathers etc, maternal or paternal)
• Sons and below (i.e. grandsons, great grandsons etc)
• Brothers (regardless of whether it be one�s real brother, brother with whom your mothers are the same but fathers different or whether it be a brother with whom your fathers are the same but mothers different)
• Uncles (i.e. one�s mother�s/father�s brother, again regardless of whether it be their real brother, brother with whom their mothers are the same but fathers different or whether it be their brother with whom their fathers are the same but mothers different)
• Nephews (i.e. sons of brother/sister regardless of whether they be one�s real brother/sister, brother/sister with whom your mothers are the same but fathers different or brother/sister with whom your fathers are the same but mothers different)
• Foster son (i.e. a boy who a lady has breast fed before the age of two)
• Foster Brother (i.e. a male who was breast fed by the same lady as one was)
• Father-in-law and above (i.e. grandfather-in-law, great grandfather-in-law etc, maternal or paternal) 
• Husband�s sons
• Son-in-law and below (i.e. daughter�s husband, granddaughter�s husband etc)
• Husband (not forbidden in marriage but as an exception is classified as a �Mahram� and therefore no restrictions apply with one�s husband)

  From a female�s perspective, men she is permitted to marry or who are temporarily forbidden and are those with whom Islamic restrictions apply.
