Women with Whom Nikah is Haram
*6 Basic Principles of Prohibition*
The detailed rules about which woman is haram for whom are based on 6 things:
1. *Nasbi Qarabat*: Relationship of father and mother.
2. *Raza'at*: Milk relationship.
3. *Musahrat*: In-law relationship.
4. *Mankuhatul gair*: Meaning the woman is in the nikah of another man or in iddat.
5. *Jima'a baynul ukhteen*: Meaning a man already has a woman in his nikah due to whose presence bringing another woman into nikah is prohibited sharan.
6. Marrying more than the number fixed by shariah for a man, for example marrying a fifth woman while a free man already has 4 wives in nikah.
*Verses of Quran on Prohibition*
Forbidden to you are:
Your mothers, your daughters and your sisters and your paternal aunts and your maternal aunts and nieces from brothers and nieces from sisters.
And your mothers who have nursed you and your sisters through nursing.
Your wives' mothers and your wives' daughters who are normally under your guardianship from those wives with whom you have consummated marriage. And if you have not consummated with those wives then there is no sin upon you.
And the wives of your sons who are from your lineage.
And that you combine two sisters together in nikah, except what has already passed. Allah ta'ala is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And those women who have husbands except those whom your right hands possess.
Allah ta'ala has made all these rulings obligatory upon you.
And besides these women, all other women are made halal for you. Tarjuma bayanul quran, Surah an-nisa 23-24
