Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3289
This narration from Abu Hurairah gives the same direct teaching on forbidden co-wife combinations in Islam. The Messenger of Allah forbade being married to a woman and her paternal aunt at the same time, or to a woman and her maternal aunt at the same time. The wording is simple, and the ruling in the text is about combining these relatives in one marriage arrangement. It does not discuss every other family relation, so the explanation should stay with the two examples named in the hadith. A user searching for hadith about marrying a woman and her aunt will find that the core message is clear: this specific combination is forbidden.
What we learn from this hadith
- A woman should not be joined in marriage with her paternal aunt.
- A woman should not be joined in marriage with her maternal aunt.
- The hadith speaks about the same-time marriage combination.
- Clear prophetic guidance helps prevent invalid marriage arrangements.
