Marriage to One's Maternal Uncle's Wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: Is it permissible for a man to marry his maternal uncle's wife? And what is it called
in the Arabic language? And what is the meaning of the word
and your maternal auntsوَخَالاتُكُمْ
in the Qur'an?

A2: Yes, it is permissible for a man to marry his maternal uncle's wife if his uncle divorced her or if she became a widow and her waiting period ended; based on the evidence mentioned in the answer to the first question. A person's maternal aunt is his mother's sister, whether she is a full sister, a half-sister on the father's side only, or a half-sister on the mother's side only, and this is the meaning of the term "maternal aunt" in the Noble Qur'an. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
