Primary text

The wives of one's sons (including sons of daughters, progeny descending from sons or daughters, near or far, related by kinship or fosterage) are forbidden immediately upon the contract. This applies because they are called 'Halilat' (wives) of the sons, based on "and the wives of your sons who are of your own loins" (Quran 4:23). There is no known scholarly disagreement on this point.
