The questioner:
Is it permissible for me to marry my paternal uncle's wife if he divorces her, and likewise my maternal uncle's wife?
The Shaykh:
What is the obstacle? No, there is no obstacle to your marrying your paternal uncle's wife if he divorces her, or your maternal uncle's wife, or your brother's wife. The closest thing to an obstacle is that what is forbidden is for you to marry your father's wife or your son's wife. That is what is forbidden. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Some people
The Shaykh:
or your grandfather's wife, whether from the father's side or the mother's side, it is not permissible for you. As for those who are not your direct ancestors, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
