The questioner : A man married a woman and she bore him children, and he wants to marry his wife's sister's daughter. Is that permissible?
The Shaykh : The sister's daughter makes the sister her aunt (khalah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1408a Therefore, it is not permissible for him to marry his wife's sister's daughter as long as his wife is in his possession. However, if he separates from her and she dies, and he marries his sister's daughter, there is nothing wrong with that.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : The sister's daughter makes the sister her aunt (khalah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
One should not combine a woman and her father's sister, nor a woman and her mother's sister in marriage.
لا يُجمع بين المرأة وعمتها، ولا بين المرأة وخالتهاThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
