The Ruling on an Uncle Marrying His Sister's Daughter

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, Honorable scholar, this questioner asks: Is it permissible for Khalid to marry my daughter? Khalid?

Answer:
What does he say? He says: May Allah forgive you, is it permissible for your maternal uncle to marry my daughter? It is not permissible for your maternal uncle, meaning the brother of your mother, to marry your daughter, because he is her maternal uncle. Your maternal uncle is the maternal uncle of your daughter, your daughter’s daughter, and your daughter’s daughter’s daughter, no matter how far down the line you go, if the intention is that he is the brother of your mother, or the brother of your grandmother, or the brother of your grandmother’s grandmother. That is, if you trace back to your mothers or your grandmothers, it is not permissible for him to marry any of your daughters or the daughters of your sons, because he is their maternal uncle by blood or by breastfeeding.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
