What is the ruling on marrying maharim? And is it permissible for a person to supplicate to Allah daily for marriage to a woman from among the maharim whom Allah has forbidden to marry?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The forbidden women mentioned in the noble verse are not lawful for marriage. Therefore, it is not permissible to supplicate with such a request, as it constitutes the aggression forbidden in His Almighty's saying: "Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like aggressors" (Al-A'raf: 55).
