elatives even if they are not relatives by blood but relatives by
suckling or by adultery. Only, one can marry one’s son’s milksister
and one’s brother’s milk-mother (wet nurse). In Hanbalî
Madhhab anyone who sucks (from the same mother),
regardless of age, becomes a milk relative, but according to the
imâms ‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ ’alaihim ajma’în’ of the other three
Madhhabs, if they suck milk after the age of two and a half, they
will not become milk relatives.
It is also eternally harâm to marry four kinds of women who
become relatives after marriage. If one has already performed
the nikâh, or had adultery with a woman, then he can never
marry her mother, her mother’s mother, or her father’s mother.
When a man has sex with his wife, he can never marry the
daughter which she had from another husband. A man can
never marry a woman with whom his father or his own son
made a nikâh, i.e. his step-mother or his daughter-in-law. A
woman can never marry her step-father, stepson, father-in-law
or son-in law. It is permissible to marry an “Âkhirat-sister” or
“Âkhirat-brother”, or brother-or-sister-in Tarîqat, or “Âkhiratmother.”
The case with these people is unlike the case with
one’s own sister or mother. It is harâm for one to see their
heads, hair, arms, legs, to chat with them, to stay alone with
them in the same room, or to travel long distance with them.
These things are not halâl in any Tarîqat. He who says that they
are halâl becomes a disbeliever, a zindiq.
There are seven more women whom a man cannot marry
due to temporary situations. When these temporary situations
cease to exist he can marry them. Five of them are harâm due
to a nikâh. After performing a nikâh, one cannot marry the girl’s
sister. If the woman whom one has already married dies, or if
one divorces her, then one can marry her sister.
While a man is married to a woman, it will be harâm for him
to marry her paternal and maternal aunts, or her sisters’ or
brothers’ daughters. It is also harâm to marry these five women
when they are the wife’s milk-relatives.
In Hanafî, Mâlikî and Hanbalî Madhhabs the women who are
harâm for one to marry because of the sex act one performs
with one’s wife, will also become harâm to marry in case of an
illegal sex act (adultery) one performs with a nâ-mahram
woman. But according to Shâfi’î Madhhab these women do not
become prohibited for one to marry because of the illegal sex
