The Ruling on Marrying Relatives

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is a follow-up to this question, Shaykh Salih, and he says that marriage between relatives is accompanied by problems.

Answer:
This is also one of the superstitions. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) married his daughter Fatimah to her cousin, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, and he himself (peace and blessings be upon him) married from among his relatives; he married from among the Quraysh. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives]يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَحْلَلْنَا لَكَ أَزْوَاجَكَ اللَّاتِي آتَيْتَ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ
[Al-Ahzab 33:50]
and the daughters of your uncles, the daughters of your aunts, the daughters of your maternal uncles, and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you. Yes.
