His half-sister from his father has a half-sister from her mother. Is it permissible for him to marry her?
Question: 33752
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Yes, that is permissible.
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan said:
If you have a half-sister from your father, then it is permissible for you to marry her half-sister from her mother, because there is no relationship between you and her half-sister from her mother that would prevent that. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“All others are lawful”
[al-Nisa’ 4:24]
al-Muntaqa, 5/258.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrated that the Muslims were unanimously agreed that this kind of marriage is permissible. He said: It is permissible for a man’s half-sister from his mother to marry his half-brother from his father. This is unanimously agreed upon among the Muslims and there is no dispute concerning that. And Allaah knows best.
From al-Fataawa al-Kubra, 3/163.
