2065. It was reported from Dāwud bin Abī Hind, from 'Āmir, from Abū Hurairah, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "A woman should not be married alongside her paternal aunt, nor an aunt alongside her brother's daughter, nor a woman alongside her maternal aunt, nor a maternal aunt alongside her sister's daughter. And one who is older should not be married alongside one who is younger, nor one who is younger alongside one who is older." (Sahih)
2065 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا، وَلَا الْعَمَّةُ عَلَى بِنْتِ أَخِيهَا، وَلَا الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى خَالَتِهَا، وَلَا الْخَالَةُ عَلَى بِنْتِ أُخْتِهَا، وَلَا تُنْكَحُ الْكُبْرَى عَلَى الصُّغْرَى، وَلَا الصُّغْرَى عَلَى الْكُبْرَى»
