quran:4:23

Prohibited to you ˹for marriage˺ are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your ˹milk˺ mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship ˹born˺ of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And ˹also prohibited are˺ the wives of your sons who are from your ˹own˺ loins, and that you take ˹in marriage˺ two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.  

Forbidden to you are your mothers, in marriage, and this includes the paternal and maternal grandmothers; and daughters, including their children, if they should lower themselves ˹to such standards˺; your sisters, from your fathers and mothers; your paternal aunts, that is, the sisters of your fathers and grandfathers; and maternal aunts, that is, the sisters of your mothers and grandmothers; your brother’s daughters, your sister’s daughters, including the children of these daughters; your foster mothers who have given you milk, five times within the first two years, as pointed out in a hadīth; your foster sisters, and, according to the Sunna, the daughters of these; and these foster-sisters include those suckled by a woman with whom the man has had intercourse, those suckled by the man’s paternal aunts, or maternal aunts, or those suckled by his brother’s daughters, or his sister’s daughters, on account of the ˹Prophet’s˺ hadīth that, ‘What kinship makes unlawful suckling also makes unlawful’, as reported by al-Bukhārī and Muslim; your mothers-in-law, your step-daughters (rabā’ib, plural of rabība, the daughter of one’s wife from another husband), who are, being brought up, in your care (allātī fī hujūrikum is an adjectival qualifier, reiterating the obvious, without any additional import); being born of your wives you have been in to, in sexual intercourse — but if you have not yet been in to them you are not at fault, if you leave them, to then marry their daughters — and the spouses of your sons who are of your loins, as opposed to those whom you have adopted, whose spouses, in contrast, you may marry; and that you should take to you, in marriage, two sisters together, ˹sisters˺ by kinship or by suckling: the Sunna adds that you may not marry her together with her paternal or maternal aunt; it is permissible to marry each of these separately or to own them ˹as handmaidens˺ together, but only have sexual intercourse with one of them; unless it be a thing of the past, from preIslamic times, when you may have married in one of the ways mentioned: you are not at fault. God is ever Forgiving, of what you have done in the past, prior to this prohibition, Merciful, to you in this matter.
القرآن:٤:٢٣

حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّهَاتُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَأَخَوَاتُكُمْ وَعَمَّاتُكُمْ وَخَالَاتُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُ الْأَخِ وَبَنَاتُ الْأُخْتِ وَأُمَّهَاتُكُمُ اللَّاتِي أَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَأَخَوَاتُكُمْ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَأُمَّهَاتُ نِسَائِكُمْ وَرَبَائِبُكُمُ اللَّاتِي فِي حُجُورِكُمْ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمُ اللَّاتِي دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَحَلَائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَصْلَابِكُمْ وَأَنْ تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الْأُخْتَيْنِ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا  

(حرمت عليكم أمهاتكم) أن تنكحوهن وشملت الجدات من قبل الأب أو الأم (وبناتكم) وشملت بنات الأولاد وإن سفلن (وأخواتكم) من جهة الأب أو الأم (وعماتكم) أي أخوات آبائكم وأجدادكم (وخالاتكم) أي أخوات أمهاتكم وجداتكم (وبنات الأخ وبنات الأخت) ويدخل فيهن أولادهم (وأمهاتكم اللاتي أرضعنكم) قبل استكمال الحولين خمس رضعات كما بينه الحديث (وأخواتكم من الرضاعة) ويلحق بذلك بالسنة البنات منها وهن من أرضعتهم موطوأته والعمات والخالات وبنات الأخ وبنات الأخت منها لحديث: "" يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب "" رواه البخاري ومسلم (وأمهات نسائكم وربائبكم) جمع ربيبة وهي بنت الزوجة من غيره (اللاتي في حجوركم) تربونهن. صفة موافقة للغالب فلا مفهوم لها (من نسائكم اللاتي دخلتم بهن) أي جامعتموهن (فإن لم تكونوا دخلتم بهن فلا جناح عليكم) في نكاح بناتهن إذا فارقتموهن (وحلائل) أزواج (أبنائكم الذين من أصلابكم) بخلاف من تبنيتموهم فلكم نكاح حلائلهم (وأن تجمعوا بين الأختين) من نسب أو رضاع بالنكاح ويلحق بهما بالسنة الجمع بينها وبين عمتها أو خالتها ويجوز نكاح كل واحدة على الانفراد وملكهما معا ويطأ واحدة (إلا) لكن (ما قد سلف) في الجاهلية من نكاحهم بعض ما ذكر فلا جناح عليكم فيه (إن الله كان غفورا) لما سلف منكم قبل النهي (رحيما) بكم في ذلك.

[Machine] "Seven types of close relatives are prohibited in marriage: your mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, nieces, daughters of brothers, and daughters of sisters. This is regarding lineage. And your nursing mothers, sisters through nursing, mothers of your wives, and stepdaughters who are fostered with you – but if you have not fostered them – there is no harm in marrying them. And also prohibited are the wives of your sons who are from your own loins, and to marry two sisters at the same time, except what has already occurred. And it is also forbidden to marry the wives of your fathers from among women." (Quran, Surah An-Nisa 4:23)
