Marrying a paternal cousin who is the maternal uncle's half sister

Q: My maternal grandfather married my paternal aunt, who gave birth to sons. When she was divorced, she married another man and gave birth to daughters. Is it permissible for me to marry any of her daughters, as they are the maternal sisters of my maternal uncles? Please advise me.


A: If the situation is as you mentioned in your question, it is permissible for you to marry any of the daughters of your mentioned paternal aunt. The fact that your paternal aunt’s daughters with her second husband are the maternal sisters to your maternal uncles, who are her sons with your (Part No. 18; Page No. 350) maternal grandfather, is not an impediment against you marrying any of the daughters of your mentioned paternal aunt. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, his family, and Companions.
