The hadith "Marriage should be kept distant" has no basis
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. One of the listening brothers cites a hadith, saying it is from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and asks about it. He says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Keep marriage distant." Is there anything wrong with me if I bring it closer?
Answer:
This hadith has no basis from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no harm in marrying one’s relatives, such as his paternal cousins, his aunts’ daughters, his maternal aunts’ daughters, or any other relatives from whom marriage is permissible. There is no harm in that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married Fatimah to her paternal cousin, Ali ibn Abi Talib. Likewise, the Companions married their relatives. There is nothing wrong with that, if Allah wills. Yes.
