Is it permissible to marry two sisters, one of whom is free and the other a slave, or both of whom are slaves?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One of them is free, so the one who is seeking it mounts, or
The Shaykh : sits beside them, and not like a trustworthy one, because this is a marriage contract. However, if he married this one and bought this one by saying, "I have married you to my daughter so-and-so, and I have sold to you her sister." Yes, and I have sold to you her sister. Fine, I have married you to my daughter and sold to you her sister. Is this valid, brothers? There is no god but Allah. Yes, she is free. She is the daughter of his wife. Is she not his daughter? No, his sister. She is the daughter of his wife; his wife had a daughter from before who was a slave. He freed her, and he married her, and she bore him a daughter. So now he bought the daughter of his wife; he bought her from her master. Is this possible or not possible? So he said, "I have married you to my daughter, this one, and I have sold to you her sister. Fine, in one contract."
The questioner : Correct?
The Shaykh : Is the sale and the marriage valid or not valid? The sale and the marriage are valid.
The questioner : On a Friday.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The reward of the imam.
The Shaykh : Because the sale does not return to the marriage, and for this reason, if he bought two full sisters who are slaves and bought them for free, is it valid or not? It is valid, because the sale does not harm the marriage,
The questioner : It is not valid for him to cause harm to his sister.
The Shaykh : It is known that he does not cover her, but the sale was given; the sale is not by delivery. Delivery is not permissible until he separates from that. Yes, one does not marry a woman and her aunt, nor a woman and her maternal aunt, not even through concubinage, because if a woman is taken as a concubine, she becomes a bed for him. The scholars differed on this issue previously, but the stronger position is that if he has intercourse with her, if he has intercourse with his slave, she becomes a bed for him.
