The Uncle's Marriage to His Niece and His Nephews' Daughters

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible for my maternal uncle to marry my daughter?

The Shaykh:
Khalid. What does he say?

The presenter:
He says: May Allah forgive you, is it permissible for my maternal uncle to marry my daughter?

The Shaykh:
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, and your son is your daughter’s son, and your daughter is your daughter’s daughter. No matter how far down the lineage we go, if the intent is that he is the brother of your mother, or the brother of your maternal grandmother, or the brother of your paternal grandmother—meaning a brother to your mothers or grandmothers—it is not permissible for him to marry your daughters or your granddaughters, because he is their maternal uncle by blood or by breastfeeding.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
