The questioner : Your Eminence, what is the ruling on a man who desires to marry a woman who is related to him, such as his maternal or paternal cousin, and she is likewise, and likewise a maternal or paternal cousin who desires to marry the first man's sister, and she is likewise desiring to marry him? The important thing is that all parties are in mutual consent, if Allah wills. What is the legal ruling if the marriage takes place in this state? He asks for guidance on this, and says at the end of the question: If this marriage falls under the ruling of shighar, which Islam has forbidden, what is the best legal method that we must follow so that this marriage is legal and valid, given the situation described? May you be rewarded.
The Shaykh : This marriage that the questioner asked about is not from the category of shighar, because the category of shighar is when he conditions that he marry his guardian's daughter, saying: I will marry you my sister on the condition that you marry me your sister. But if this happens without a condition, there is no harm in it, and it is not from the category of shighar in any way.
