In a world with various religions and their unique practices, questions about religious guidelines, especially around marriage, often arise. In Islam, like in many other faiths, there are specific rules about whom one can marry, and interpreting these laws can sometimes be confusing.
To shed light on such matters, Maulana Mufti Tariq Masood has been answering public queries through online videos. These sessions have become popular, offering clear answers to questions that many may hesitate to ask elsewhere.

One recent query posed to Maulana Masood was whether a man could marry his wife’s cousin’s daughter. In response, he explained that Islamic law allows this marriage. The man can marry his wife’s cousin’s daughter while his wife is still alive, as there are no prohibitions against this union. However, he made a distinction, emphasizing that “a man cannot marry his wife’s sister’s daughter while his wife is still alive,” as this is prohibited under Islamic law.
Furthermore, Maulana Masood clarified that after the wife’s death, it would be permissible for a man to marry his wife’s sister’s daughter, as the restriction is lifted once the wife passes away.
In conclusion, while it is allowed for a man to marry his wife’s cousin’s daughter according to Islamic law, marrying his wife’s sister’s daughter is only permissible after the wife’s death.
