Marrying a paternal cousin


317

Q: Salih ibn Ahmad Al-Thaqafy married to Rahmah bint `Awad Al-Thaqafy and gave birth to girls. Dakhil-u-lllah ibn `Awad Al-Thaqafy married `Aishah (Part No. 18; Page No. 349) bint Ahmad Al-Thaqafy and gave birth to children. Is it permissible for the children of Dakhil-u-lllah ibn `Awad Al-Thaqafy to marry the daughters of Salih ibn Ahmad Al-Thaqafy from their aunt Rahmah bint `Awad Al-Thaqafy? It is worth mentioning that there is no wet-nursing between them.


A: If the situation is as you mentioned, it is permissible for any of Dakhil-u-lllah ibn `Awad's sons to marry any of Salih ibn Ahmad's girls. The blood relationship between them does not prohibit marriage. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
