Is it permissible to combine (in marriage) two daughters of one man from different mothers, knowing the prohibition of combining two sisters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to combine two sisters in marriage, whether they are full sisters, or half-sisters through the father or through the mother. This is based on the general meaning of Allah's Almighty saying: (And that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade marrying a woman concurrently with her paternal aunt or her maternal aunt, and combining two sisters. If a man who embraced Islam already has two sisters as wives, he must choose one of them.
