Question:

If someone has wrong relations with his paternal aunt ,does it affect the marriage of aunt?

Answer:

Bismillah

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

If someone had unlawful relations with his paternal aunt, the marriage of the aunt will stay intact; however, the laws of Hurmat musaharah will be established.  [1]

Hurmat musaharah forbids specific men from marrying specific women. The laws will be established when there has been unlawful contact between a male and female with the following conditions:

  • Shahwah is experienced at the time of touching
  • Contact was made without the barrier of a thick cloth or the cloth was thin that body heat was felt [2]

As a result of Hurmat musaharah, four types of relatives become forbidden to marry:

  • The father, grandfather, great grandfather etc are forbidden upon the wife.
  • The mother, grandmother, etc are forbidden upon the husband.
  • The son, grandson etc of the husband are forbidden upon the wife.
  • The daughter, granddaughter etc of the wife is forbidden upon the husband. [3]
