Re: marrige b/w cousins

i came across this on another islamic website

"There is no objection whatsoever in the Islamic religion for a man to marry any of his relatives except those forbidden for marriage whom Allah mentioned in surat an-Nisaa' (4: 23) Thus, when Allah mentioned for us the relatives to whom marriage is forbidden, we then come to know that there is no objection for the remainder of the family relations.

Among the most prominent evidence of this fact is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married his daughter Fatimah to `Ali (may Allah be pleased with them) and he is the son of her father's uncle, as well as the marriage of the Prophet himself to Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) and she is his aunt's daughter (i.e. his cousin)

Re: marrige b/w cousins

thanks for the clarification guys as usual u guys r very helpful, just wanted to see the Islamic point of view. Turns out my grandparents weren’t cousins…they were only family friends, that was a misunderstanding. so in my case it wud be second generation. i kno abt all kinds of birth defects, i’m a med student wanting to specialize in pediatrics after all :rotato:, that explains y i am a little crazy. i kno all the scientific risk factors, etc.
