Arabic text

3296 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُنْكَحَ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا، وَالْعَمَّةُ عَلَى بِنْتِ أَخِيهَا»

Commentary

It is forbidden to contract marriage with a paternal aunt and her niece (brother's daughter) simultaneously; irrespective of the fact whether the paternal aunt was first committed to marriage or the niece (brother's daughter). The ruling concerning the maternal aunt and her niece (sister's daughter) is the same.
