Is it permissible to combine a woman with her paternal aunt's daughter?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The unlawful combination between women is between two sisters, and between a woman and her paternal aunt, and between a woman and her maternal aunt, due to Allah Almighty's saying: "and that you take in marriage two sisters simultaneously, except what has already occurred" and the Hadith: "A woman and her paternal aunt, or a woman and her maternal aunt, cannot be combined in marriage at the same time." Anything other than that is permissible, such as combining a woman with her paternal aunt's daughter.
