ما هي صلة القرابة بين مريم وسيدنا زكريا؟
Zechariah (peace be upon him) was the husband of Mary's maternal aunt or her sister. It was said that his wife was Ishaa' bint Faqoudha, the sister of Hannah, Mary's mother. It was also said that she was Ishaa' bint Imran. Based on this, John would be Jesus's (peace be upon them) maternal cousin in reality. The Prophet's saying in the narration of the Isra (Night Journey) testifies to this: "Then I met my two maternal cousins, John and Jesus."
