Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ تُنْكَحَ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا وَالْعَمَّةُ عَلَى بِنْتِ أَخِيهَا ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Ibrahim reported to us; he said: al-Mu'tamir informed us, from Dawud ibn Abi Hind, from al-Sha'bi, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prohibited marrying a woman together with her paternal aunt, or a paternal aunt together with her brother’s daughter.

Translation notes
  • The report states the aunt–niece pairing in both directions: a woman with her paternal aunt, and the aunt with her brother’s daughter.
