3289. It was narrated from Umm Habîbah that she said: "O Messenger
of Allâh, what do you think of my sister?" He said: "What for?" She said: "For marriage." He said: "Would you like that?" She said: "Yes; I do not have you all to myself, and I would like to share this goodness with my sister." He said: "She is not permissible for me (to marry)." She said: "But I heard that you want to marry Durrah, the daughter of Umm Salamah." He said: "The daughter of Abû Salamah?" She said: "Yes." He said: "By Allâh, even if she were not my stepdaughter she would not be permissible for me (to marry), because she is the daughter of my brother through breast-feeding. Do not offer your daughters and sisters to me in marriage." (Sahîh)

Commentary
It is forbidden to contract marriage with two sisters simultaneously, although one after the divorce of the other is permitted. That means, if one of them dies or is divorced, then it is permitted to marry the other sister.
