Prohibition Of Marrying Woman And Her Aunt At The Same Time
Allah mentions in surah 4 verse 23 that being married to two sisters at the same time is prohibited, and the prohibition of combining woman and her aunt is mentioned in hadees. Al-Bukhaari (5109) and Muslim (1408) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “One should not be married to a woman and her paternal aunt, or a woman and her maternal aunt, at the same time.”
Ghamidi sahab had said that our religion has reached us through quran and sunnah, and hadees cannot make any addition to the Quran. Then what’s the answer for this?.

…”وَأَنْ تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الْأُخْتَيْنِ (and two sisters in wedlock at the same time). A little deliberation shows that this expression is of the same style as the one which has been discussed before under foster relationships. Although the Quran has only stated the prohibition of two sisters in simultaneous wedlock, it is evident that if combining two sisters in wedlock is a lewd thing as far as the relationship of marriage is concerned, then combining a lady with her brother’s daughter in wedlock or with her sister’s daughter in wedlock is like combining a mother and a daughter in wedlock. Hence, though the words used are: وَأَنْ تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الْأُخْتَيْنِ, the purport of the Quran undoubtedly is:وَأَنْ تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الْأُخْتَيْنِ وَبَيْنَ اْلمَرْاةِ وَ عَمَّتِهَا وَبَيْنَ اْلمَرْاة وَ خَالَتِهَا (and two sisters in wedlock at the same time and a lady with her brother’s daughter at the same time and a lady with her sister’s daughter at the same time). However, all these words are suppressed after بَيْنَ الْأُخْتَيْنِ because what is mentioned points towards this suppression as obviously understood. So obvious are the words of this suppression that no student of the Quran can err in understanding them.
The Prophet (sws), consequently, is reported to have said:
لاَ يُجْمَعُ بين الْمَرْأَةِ وَعَمَّتِهَا وَلاَ بين الْمَرْأَةِ وَخَالَتِهَا
Neither can a lady and her paternal aunt nor can a lady and her maternal aunt be combined in wedlock.”
