The Rights of Kinship and the Rights of Marriage for a Married Cousin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I am a man married to two women. The first is not a relative of mine, and the second is my cousin. Does my cousin have two rights: the right of kinship and the right of marriage?
The Shaykh:
No, the right of marriage is sufficient and covers the right of kinship. If you go beyond the right of marriage, that is sufficient. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable.
The Shaykh:
If you give her something in addition to the right of marriage, the second wife will object. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The right of kinship is included with the right of marriage. Yes.
