What is the prohibition regarding combining two sisters in marriage?

Chapter on What is Prohibited to Marry and Combining Between Them and Other Matters

Al-Mughni

Book of Marriage

Book 35 · Issue 7 · Bab 2

Open in Qurani

Primary text

Combining a woman with her sister (whether by kinship or fosterage, free or slave) is forbidden, according to the Quran, whether before or after consummation. If both are contracted simultaneously, the contract is void because neither has precedence. If one is married after the other, the first marriage is valid, but the second contract is void as it creates the forbidden combination. There is no scholarly disagreement on this rule.
