The Answer to the Objection Regarding the Marriage of One of Adam’s Sons to His Sister, and That Noah (peace be upon him) Married Two Sisters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It is doubtful that the scholars say that the legislations of the Prophets agreed on certain things, among which is that zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) and such things could not occur in their time.
The Shaykh : What cannot happen?
The questioner : It is possible that it occurred.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The questioner : So it is reported from Adam that he married the first sister, the parents the second, and so on. In our Shari'ah, it is forbidden, and it is considered one of the greatest [sins], and also the wife of a woman.
The Shaykh : It is as if you studied the life of al-Mu'ari or someone like him.
The questioner : Yes, meaning this is the fate of man; he conveys it by Allah. I want to hear the animals so that I can hear.
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah, meaning if this was prevented in the Shari'ah of Adam, if it was prevented, how would people multiply?
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, I assume, meaning we accept this in the Shari'ah of Adam (peace and blessings be upon him) because this is [unclear], but in the Shari'ah of Noah, he married a woman and her sister.
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : He married two sisters.
The Shaykh : I mean, from this, [unclear].
The questioner : Is it considered, Shaykh, a violation now?
The Shaykh : If this is true, then there is no zina, because zina is intercourse with a forbidden private part, and the sister of the wife is not forbidden to him. For this reason, some people make a mistake and say that the sister of the wife, her paternal aunt, and her maternal aunt are permanently forbidden. This is a mistake; this is not correct. It does not agree with the Qur'an or the Sunnah. What is forbidden regarding the sister of the wife, her paternal aunt, and her maternal aunt is marrying them together, because He said[An-Nisa 4:23] and He the Exalted said, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said Sahih Muslim 1408a So it is forbidden in itself. If what you said is true, and we are demanding the authenticity of this report.
The questioner : I forgot.
The Shaykh : We are not demanding its authenticity. That one of the famous memorizers who transmits authentic hadiths said, "It was narrated to us," and he listed the chain back to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Otherwise, do not accuse the Prophets.
The questioner : Allah, eight.
The Shaykh : I, I am not saying anything. I am saying I am demanding the authenticity of the report. The important thing is, may Allah bless you, there is nothing now.
The questioner : No, Shaykh, now I write that, meaning there is a rule that if a person knows that this matter is a methodology against him and he commits it knowingly, we say that it is a violation. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says, "Whoever does somethingSahih Muslim 1718b So the number of this existence is its non-existence. Is not the verse, Shaykh, or otherwise?
The Shaykh : Yes, but it is not like marrying the mother of the wife. Even if it is forbidden and the contract is defective, it is not as ugly as marrying the mother of the wife. The mother of the wife is forbidden permanently, even if the wife dies or he divorces her.
The questioner : Also, if we found this, Shaykh, what then? How did we find a man who knows that the blood of the woman with her sister is forbidden, he knows this, and then he said.
The Shaykh : We say, did you have intercourse with her while you believed it was forbidden? If he says yes, we say you are [unclear]. It is normal to look at it; either he is stoned or. Or he is flogged and drowned.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He did not have intercourse with his wife, may Allah bless you. He contracted and contracted with the second one afterwards. Is this a muhsan (one who has previously married) while he has not had intercourse?
The questioner : Meaning in teeth.
The Shaykh : The important thing, may Allah bless you, if Allah wills, you must clarify this issue for us, otherwise perhaps we will flog you for slander.
The questioner : Yes, and Allah is the Greatest.
The Shaykh : A limit that no one responds to.
The questioner : That is enough.
The Shaykh : He cannot deny it. He says, what is this man? Do you have one who sits on the inheritance? Okay.
The questioner : If this. He married her.
The Shaykh : Any division, the second one is invalid. If he marries them in one place, he contracts with Hind and then with Aisha in one place, so the second one is invalid.
The Shaykh : What cannot happen?
The questioner : It is possible that it occurred.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The questioner : So it is reported from Adam that he married the first sister, the parents the second, and so on. In our Shari'ah, it is forbidden, and it is considered one of the greatest [sins], and also the wife of a woman.

For this reason, some people make a mistake and say that the sister of the wife, her paternal aunt, and her maternal aunt are permanently forbidden. This is a mistake; this is not correct. It does not agree with the Qur'an or the Sunnah. What is forbidden regarding the sister of the wife, her paternal aunt, and her maternal aunt is marrying them together, because He said
and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously
وَأَن تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الْأُخْتَيْنِOne should not combine a woman and her father's sister, nor a woman and her mother's sister in marriage.
لا يجمع بين المرأة وعمتها، ولا بين المرأة وخالتها.The questioner : I forgot.

for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected
