Question:
This questioner, Abdullah, says: I want to marry my cousin’s daughter, but I consulted one of my colleagues, and he told me that marriage to relatives ends in failure, illness, and the severing of family ties, so I turned away from it.

Answer:

the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with youعَمِّكَ وَبَنَاتِ عَمَّاتِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَالِكَ وَبَنَاتِ خَالَاتِكَ اللَّاتِي هَاجَرْنَ مَعَكَ
[Al-Ahzab 33:50]
