The questioner:
They emigrate and they are afflicted. Is this a hadith? And is there any guidance in the authentic Sunnah regarding marriage to relatives? "They emigrate and they are afflicted" means marry women who are strangers to you, who are not your relatives. Marry women who are not your relatives.
The Shaykh:
That is, so that your marriage to close relatives does not cause weakness in the offspring. It is known among people that marriage to close relatives causes weakness in the offspring, but this has no basis in the Shari'ah. In fact, the Shari'ah does not prevent marriage to righteous close relatives. 'Ali ibn Abi Talib married the daughter of his uncle, Zaynab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Companions used to marry among themselves; relatives used to marry among themselves. This did not cause weakness in their offspring, nor did it have any effect on the weakness of the offspring.

May Allah reward you with good. Do you advise them not to plant this in the minds of people?
The Shaykh:
Yes, we advise that this saying not be fed and spread among people. Yes.
The presenter:
