The Ruling on Marrying Relatives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters says: A relative proposed to me, but I heard that marriage to distant relatives is better in terms of the children's future, their health, and so on. What is your opinion on this?
Answer:
This is a rumor. There is no objection to marrying relatives. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) married from among the Quraysh; he married his relatives, and he also married off the daughters of his relatives. This is a rumor, and it is one of the obstacles they place in the way of marriage. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
