Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade marrying a woman along with her paternal aunt or maternal aunt (i.e., marrying the niece of one’s wife). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: If you women do this, you will be guilty of violating the rights of kinship. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Abu Hariz is Abdullah bin Husayn; he was the judge of Sijistan, whereas the Abu Hariz who was the freed slave of Zuhri is weak and unreliable; his name is Salim. Both of them have narrated traditions from Zuhri.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "A woman should not be married together with her paternal aunt, nor should a paternal aunt be married together with her niece. A woman should not be married together with her maternal aunt, nor should a maternal aunt be married together with her niece (i.e., a paternal aunt and her niece or a maternal aunt and her niece should not be joined together in marriage)."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade marrying a woman together with her paternal aunt, or her maternal aunt, or her niece (brother’s daughter), or her niece (sister’s daughter). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) also forbade marrying the younger (sister) together with the elder, or the elder together with the younger.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: It was asked from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about a person who gives his wife an irrevocable divorce, then that woman marries another man, and before the second man has intercourse with her, he divorces her. Can that woman return to her first husband? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: No, not until (the second husband) tastes her honey as the first husband tasted. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) In the Book of Allah, this ruling is mentioned in general terms: "If the man divorces her, she is not lawful for him thereafter until she marries another husband." So Allah Almighty has permitted for the first husband that he may marry her when she marries another man, but the Sunnah has clarified that such a woman is not lawful for the first husband until there is intercourse between the woman and the second husband, which is the tasting of honey, and then after that, if she is separated from him due to divorce or the husband's death, then at that time she will be lawful for the first husband.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding a person who gives his wife three divorces, then that woman marries another man, and the second man divorces her before consummating the marriage, and the first husband intends to remarry her, about this the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, not until the second husband tastes her honey and she tastes his honey (it is not permissible until then). (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Allah Almighty has said: "If the man divorces her, she is not lawful for him thereafter until she marries another husband." So here Allah Almighty has made it permissible for the woman that she can marry the first husband only after she has married another husband, but the Noble Mustafa (peace and blessings be upon him) has explained the intent of Allah Almighty (the command of Allah Almighty is): "Until she marries another man besides him." So the explanation of the general statement in the Book will be that Allah Almighty's command, "until she marries another man besides the first husband," does not mean merely the contract of marriage, but rather consummation of marriage.

Zubair bin Abdur Rahman narrates: Sayyiduna Rifa’ah bin Samwal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave his wife Tamimah bint Wahb three divorces during the blessed time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Then Abdur Rahman bin Zubair married this woman, but he could not have intercourse with her, so he separated from her. Rifa’ah intended to marry this woman again—he was her first husband who had divorced her. He mentioned this matter to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade him from marrying this woman. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: This woman will not be lawful for you until she tastes the honey (of another husband).

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a man who divorces his wife, then that woman marries another man, her marriage is consummated, then that man divorces her before having intercourse with her. Is that woman lawful for her first husband? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No! Not until the second man tastes her honey and she tastes his honey.

It is narrated about Umar bin Ubaidullah: He sent a message to Aban bin Uthman. At that time, Aban was the Amir of Hajj. Both of them were in the state of Ihram. (The message was:) I am about to perform the marriage of Talha bin Umar with the daughter of Shaibah bin Jubair. I wish that you also be present on this occasion. But Aban bin Uthman refused his request and stated: I heard Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A person in the state of Ihram cannot marry, cannot give a marriage proposal, and cannot perform the marriage of someone else."

Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "A person in the state of Ihram cannot marry," cannot arrange the marriage of another, cannot send a marriage proposal, and a marriage proposal cannot be sent to him.

Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "A person in the state of ihram cannot marry, cannot arrange a marriage, and cannot send a marriage proposal."
