Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ أَرْبَعِ نِسْوَةٍ يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَهُنَّ الْمَرْأَةِ وَعَمَّتِهَا وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَخَالَتِهَا ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah reported to us; he said: al-Layth narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Irak ibn Malik, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prohibited combining four women in marriage: a woman with her paternal aunt, or a woman with her maternal aunt.

Translation notes
  • The report summarizes the prohibition as combining a woman with either her paternal or maternal aunt in marriage to the same man.
