WHO IS
FORBIDDEN IN MARRIAGE?

And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has already
passed; indeed it was shameful and most hateful, and an evil way. (4:22)

Forbidden
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 foster mother who gave you suck, your foster
milk suckling sisters, your wives' mothers, your step daughters under your
guardianship, born of your wives to whom you have gone in - but there is
no sin on you if you have not gone in them (to marry their daughters), -
the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins, and two sisters
in wedlock at
the same time, except for what has already passed; verily, Allâh is OftForgiving,
Most Merciful. (4:23)

Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and
slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus has Allâh ordained for
you. All others are lawful, provided you seek (them in marriage) with
Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of
marriage) from your property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal
sexual intercourse, so with those of whom you have enjoyed sexual
relations, give them their Mahr as prescribed; but if after a Mahr
is prescribed, you agree mutually (to give more), there is no sin on
you. Surely, Allâh is Ever AllKnowing, AllWise. (4:24)
