May Allah grant long life to Sultan Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim QS and to Mawlana Shaykh Hisham QS and Malwana Shaykh Adnan QS and to Mawlana Shaykh Mehmet QS and grant us to be with them here and hereafter InshaAllah.
Dear Sayedi,

Please can you advise if my marriage is valid to my cousin who is my Maternal Uncles daughter and Paternal Aunties Daughter based on Surah AlAhzab and Shariah?

Forgive me please for my stupidity and ignorance.

With all my love.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,
Two women who are not blood sisters but are maternal or paternal cousins are permitted to marry one man at the same time.
