Quran 33:50 – Cousin Marriage
The ruling of parda in Al Ahzab is considered only relative to Ajwaz e Mutahiraat but in a similar way Muhammed SAW is directly addressed in 33:50 giving him permission to marry his first cousins and any woman who devote herself to him. Allah said that this permission is only for Muhammed SAW.
Why r first cousins are allowed for all muslims? Why do we take the permission only relative to the last part(marry woman who devoted herself) and not the whole list?
I know Quran had mentioned list of prohibitive marriages and consequently all the rest are considered halal. But then why Allah mentioned first cousins exclusively if they were already halal?
I also know that church prohibits marrying first cousin, Bible and Torah allows it.
I’ll be grateful if someone can clarify this.

When analyzing verses of the Quran, one of the very important things is to determine the audience for those verses. Quran 33:50 is specifically addressing Prophet Muhammad SAW, and there’s context to to that verse so it will not be correct to ascertain any prohibition or lawfulness from it for the common believers. The prohibitions for common believers occur in verses 4:22-24.
