Arabic text

1931 - حَدَّثَنَا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ الْمُغَلِّسِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّهْشَلِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا، وَلَا عَلَى خَالَتِهَا»

Commentary

After the death of a wife or after her divorce, her maternal aunt or the daughter of her sister, and her paternal aunt or the daughter of her brother, are permissible for the man to take as brides. Similarly, two sisters at one time cannot be in the marriage bond of one man; but after the divorce or death of the first sister, the marriage of the second sister is allowed with the same man. (An-Nisâ 4:23)
