Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship-born of wives you have gone into-but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Whom does the Qur'an say a person may not marry?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 4:23 FORBIDDEN UNTO YOU ARE YOUR MOTHERS, AND YOUR DAUGHTERS, AND YOUR SISTERS, AND YOUR FATHER'S SISTERS, AND YOUR MOTHER'S SISTERS, AND YOUR BROTHER'S DAUGHTERS AND YOUR SISTER'S DAUGHTERS, AND YOUR FOSTER-MOTHERS, AND YOUR FOSTER-SISTERS, AND YOUR MOTHERS-IN-LAW, AND YOUR STEP-DAUGHTERS WHO ARE UNDER YOUR PROTECTION, born of your women unto whom ye have gone in - but if ye have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you - and the wives of your sons who are from your own loins. AND THAT YE SHOULD HAVE TWO SISTERS TOGETHER, except what hath already happened. In because it is the complete list and must be carried whole - blood, milk and marriage relations in one enumeration, with a conditional clause on step-daughters.
- 02 4:22 AND MARRY NOT THOSE WOMEN WHOM YOUR FATHERS MARRIED, except what hath already happened of that nature in the past. Lo, it was ever lewdness and abomination, and an evil way. In because it is stated separately and in the strongest language in the passage, and because of its transitional clause about what has already happened.
- 03 2:221 WED NOT IDOLATRESSES TILL THEY BELIEVE; for lo, a believing bondwoman is better than an idolatress though she please you. And give not your daughters in marriage to idolaters till they believe. In because it is the one prohibition based on belief rather than kinship, and it runs in both directions. ALSO CARRIED by the study Can a Muslim marry a Jew or a Christian, per the Qur'an?, with a different reason there.
- 04 24:3 The adulterer shall not marry save an adulteress or an idolatress, and the adulteress none shall marry save an adulterer or an idolater. In because it is a further prohibition based on conduct, and it is stated symmetrically for both sexes.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
4:23 is one of the most administrative verses in the Qur'an and it repays being read as a list.
The blood relations: mothers, daughters, sisters, paternal aunts, maternal aunts, brothers' daughters, sisters' daughters.
The milk relations, placed in the same list without any marker of difference: FOSTER-MOTHERS and FOSTER-SISTERS. What does the Qur'an say about milk-kinship and foster ties? takes up what that clause does.
The marriage relations: mothers-in-law; step-daughters UNDER YOUR PROTECTION born of women you have gone in to - and then a conditional the verse states explicitly, BUT IF YE HAVE NOT GONE IN UNTO THEM, THEN IT IS NO SIN; and the wives of sons FROM YOUR OWN LOINS, a qualifier that connects directly to the adoption question.
And a rule about combination rather than about a person: TWO SISTERS TOGETHER.
4:22 is stated separately and in the harshest terms the passage uses - marrying a woman the father married is called lewdness, abomination and an evil way.
Both 4:22 and 4:23 contain a transitional clause - EXCEPT WHAT HATH ALREADY HAPPENED - which acknowledges existing arrangements without validating the practice.
Two further prohibitions are not about kinship at all. 2:221 forbids marriage to idolaters in both directions until they believe. And 24:3 states a restriction based on conduct, and states it symmetrically for a man and a woman.
The text gives no reason for any item on the list. Modern discussions of consanguinity are arguments from outside it.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 4:23, widening across 4 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

Förbjudna för er [att ta till hustrur] är era mödrar, döttrar och systrar; era fastrar och mostrar; era brorsdöttrar och systerdöttrar; era fostermödrar som ammat er och era disystrar; era svärmödrar; era styvdöttrar som står under er vård och är födda av hustrur med vilka ni fullbordat äktenskapet – men om ni inte fullbordat äktenskapet med dem är det ingen synd för er – och era egna söners hustrur; samt att förena två systrar i äktenskap samtidigt, förutom det som redan har skett. Gud är ständigt förlåtande, barmhärtig.
Analarınız, kızlarınız, kız kardeşleriniz, halalarınız, teyzeleriniz, erkek kardeş kızları, kız kardeş kızları, sizi emziren süt anneleriniz, süt kardeşleriniz, karılarınızın anaları, kendileriyle gerdeğe girmiş olduğunuz karılarınızdan olup evlerinizde büyüttüğünüz üvey kızlarınız, -Eğer analarıyla zifafa girmemiş iseniz (annelerini boşayıp, onlarla nikâh kıymanızda) bir sakınca yoktur- kendi öz oğullarınızın karıları ve iki kız kardeşi birden almanız size haram kılınmıştır. Ancak geçen geçmiştir. (Bu sebeple üzerinize bir günah yoktur). Allah, şüphesiz çok bağışlayıcı ve merhamet edendir.

And all married women, except those you rightfully possess. This is God's decree, binding upon you. Permitted for you are those that lie outside these limits, provided you seek them in legal marriage, with gifts from your property, seeking wedlock, not prostitution. If you wish to enjoy them, then give them their dowry-a legal obligation. You commit no error by agreeing to any change to the dowry. God is All-Knowing, Most Wise.
And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise
and married women, save such as your right hands possess,- God's Book against you! - but lawful for you is all besides this, for you to seek them with your wealth, marrying them and not fornicating; but such of them as ye have enjoyed, give them their hire as a lawful due; for there is no crime in you about what ye agree between you after such lawful due, verily, God is knowing and wise
Forbidden to you also are married women, except those who are in your hands as slaves: This is the law of God for you. And it is allowed you, beside this, to seek out wives by means of your wealth, with modest conduct, and without fornication. And give those with whom ye have cohabited their dowry. This is the law. But it shall be no crime in you to make agreements over and above the law. Verily, God is Knowing, Wise
Ye are also forbidden to take to wife free women who are married, except those women whom your right hands shall possess as slaves. This is ordained you from God. Whatever is beside this, is allowed you; that ye may with your substance provide wives for your selves, acting that which is right, and avoiding whoredom. And for the advantage which ye receive from them, give them their reward, according to what is ordained: But it shall be no crime in you to make any other agreement among your selves, after the ordinance shall be complied with; for God is knowing and wise

The translators word this verse differently
If any of you lack the means to marry free believing women, he may marry one of the believing maids under your control. God is well aware of your faith. You are from one another. Marry them with the permission of their guardians, and give them their recompense fairly-to be protected-neither committing adultery, nor taking secret lovers. When they are married, if they commit adultery, their punishment shall be half that of free women. That is for those among you who fear falling into decadence. But to practice self-restraint is better for you. God is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And whoso is not able to afford to marry free, believing women, let them marry from the believing maids whom your right hands possess. Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye (proceed) one from another; so wed them by permission of their folk, and give unto them their portions in kindness, they being honest, not debauched nor of loose conduct. And if when they are honourably married they commit lewdness they shall incur the half of the punishment (prescribed) for free women (in that case). This is for him among you who feareth to commit sin. But to have patience would be better for you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful
But whosoever of you cannot go the length of marrying marriageable women who believe, then take of what your right hands possess, of your maidens who believe;- though God knows best about your faith. Ye come one from the other; then marry them with the permission of their people, and give them their hire in reason, they being chaste and not fornicating, and not receivers of paramours. But when they are married, if they commit fornication, then inflict upon them half the penalty for married women; that is for whomsoever of you fears wrong; but that ye should have patience is better for you, and God is forgiving and merciful
And whoever of you is not rich enough to marry free believing women, then let him marry such of your believing maidens as have fallen into your hands as slaves; God well knoweth your faith. Ye are sprung the one from the other. Marry them, then, with the leave of their masters, and give them a fair dower: but let them be chaste and free from fornication, and not entertainers of lovers
Whoso among you hath not means sufficient that he may marry free women, who are believers, let him marry with such of your maid-servants whom your right hands possess, as are true believers; for God well knoweth your faith. Ye are the one from the other: Therefore marry them with the consent of their masters; and give them their dower according to justice; such as are modest, not guilty of whoredom, nor entertaining lovers. And when they are married, if they be guilty of adultery, they shall suffer half the punishment which is appointed for the free women. This is allowed unto him among you, who feareth to sin by marrying free women; but if ye abstain from marrying slaves, it will be better for you; God is gracious and merciful

Und heiratet nicht die Frauen, die (vorher) eure Väter geheiratet haben, außer dem, was bereits geschehen ist. Wahrlich, das ist eine Abscheulichkeit und etwas Hassenswertes und ein schlechter Weg.
Μην παντρεύεστε τις γυναίκες που παντρεύτηκαν οι πατέρες σας, εκτός απ' αυτό που συνέβη στο παρελθόν: είναι πράγματι αισχρή και απεχθής πράξη (που ο Αλλάχ απεχθάνεται αυτόν που την κάνει) και είναι ένας κακός δρόμος (γι' όσους τον πήραν).

The translators word this verse differently
And all married women, except those you rightfully possess. This is God's decree, binding upon you. Permitted for you are those that lie outside these limits, provided you seek them in legal marriage, with gifts from your property, seeking wedlock, not prostitution. If you wish to enjoy them, then give them their dowry-a legal obligation. You commit no error by agreeing to any change to the dowry. God is All-Knowing, Most Wise.
And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise
and married women, save such as your right hands possess,- God's Book against you! - but lawful for you is all besides this, for you to seek them with your wealth, marrying them and not fornicating; but such of them as ye have enjoyed, give them their hire as a lawful due; for there is no crime in you about what ye agree between you after such lawful due, verily, God is knowing and wise
Forbidden to you also are married women, except those who are in your hands as slaves: This is the law of God for you. And it is allowed you, beside this, to seek out wives by means of your wealth, with modest conduct, and without fornication. And give those with whom ye have cohabited their dowry. This is the law. But it shall be no crime in you to make agreements over and above the law. Verily, God is Knowing, Wise
Ye are also forbidden to take to wife free women who are married, except those women whom your right hands shall possess as slaves. This is ordained you from God. Whatever is beside this, is allowed you; that ye may with your substance provide wives for your selves, acting that which is right, and avoiding whoredom. And for the advantage which ye receive from them, give them their reward, according to what is ordained: But it shall be no crime in you to make any other agreement among your selves, after the ordinance shall be complied with; for God is knowing and wise

Do not marry idolatresses, unless they have believed. A believing maid is better than an idolatress, even if you like her. And do not marry idolaters, unless they have believed. A believing servant is better than an idolater, even if you like him. These call to the Fire, but God calls to the Garden and to forgiveness, by His leave. He makes clear His communications to the people, that they may be mindful.

Marry not women who are idolaters, until they believe: Verily a maid servant who believeth, is better than an idolatress, although she please you more. And give not women who believe, in marriage to the idolaters, until they believe; for verily a servant, who is a true believer, is better than an idolater, though he please you more.

Mos u martoni me idhujtare derisa të bëhen besimtare.

তোমরা মুশরিক নারীকে ঈমান না আনা পর্যন্ত বিবাহ করো না। মুশরিক নারী তোমাদেরকেমুগ্ধ করলেও, অবশ্যই মুমিন ক্রীতদাসী তার চেয়ে উত্তম। তেমনিভাবে ঈমান না আনা পর্যন্ত মুশরিক পুরুষদের সাথে তোমরা মুসলিম মেয়েদেরকে বিবাহ দিও না। মুশরিক পুরুষ তোমাদেরকে মুগ্ধ করলেও অবশ্যই মু’মিন ক্রীতদাস তার চেয়ে উত্তম। তারা তোমাদেরকে জাহান্নামের দিকে আহ্বান করে; অথচ আল্লাহ তোমাদেরকে নিজ ইচ্ছায় ও অনুগ্রহে জান্নাত ও ক্ষমার দিকে আহ্বান করেন। আর তিনি মানুষের জন্য তাঁর আয়াতসমূহ সুস্পষ্টভাবে বর্ণনা করেন, যাতে তারা উপদেশ গ্রহণ করতে পারে।

Και μην παντρεύετε (τις πιστές γυναίκες) με πολυθεϊστές άνδρες μέχρι να πιστέψουν. Και ένας πιστός δούλος είναι καλύτερος από έναν πολυθεϊστή (ελεύθερο), ακόμα κι αν (ο τελευταίος) σας αρέσει.

E non sposate le idolatre finché non saranno credenti. E una schiava credente è migliore di una idolatra, anche se vi piace. E non fate sposare gli idolatri finché non credono. E uno schiavo credente è meglio di un idolatra, anche se vi piace; quelli invitano al Fuoco, e Allāh invita al Paradiso e al perdono, per Suo volere. E Lui rende chiari i Suoi segni agli uomini, affinché ricordino.

Не женитесь на придающих Аллаху сотоварищей, пока они не уверуют, ибо верующая рабыня лучше придающей Ему сотоварищей, даже если она восхищает вас. И не выдавайте [ваших женщин] замуж за придающих Аллаху сотоварищей, пока они не уверуют, ибо верующий раб лучше придающего Ему сотоварищей, даже если он восхищает вас. Такие призывают к адскому огню, а Аллах призывает к Раю и прощению, по Своему дозволению. Он разъясняет Свои знамения людям, — быть может, они внемлют напоминанию.
Не жените се незнанобошкињама док вернице не постану; уистину је робиња - верница боља од незнанобошкиње, макар вам се она и свидела! Не удајте вернице за незнанобошце док не постану верници; јер уистину је роб - верник бољи од незнанобошца, макар вам се и допадао. Они позивају у Ватру, а Аллах позива Рају и опросту, дозволом Својом, и појашњава људима речи и доказе Своје, да би се присећали и поуку примили!

Na mtumwa mwanamume Muumini ni bora kuliko mwanamume mshirikina hata akiwapendeza. Hao wanaitia kwenye Moto, naye Mwenyezi Mungu anaitia kwenye Bustani na maghfira kwa idhini yake.

Gift er inte med kvinnor som dyrkar avgudar till dess att de tror. En troende slavinna är bättre än en [fri] kvinna som dyrkar avgudar, även om de skulle behaga er. Och vig inte män som dyrkar avgudar [med troende kvinnor] tills dess att de tror. En troende slav är bättre än en [fri] man som dyrkar avgudar, även om de skulle behaga er. Sådana [människor] kallar till elden, men Gud kallar till paradiset och förlåtelse genom sin föreskrift. Och han klargör sina bestämmelser för människorna för att de ska tänka efter.
İman etmedikleri sürece Allah’a ortak koşan (müşrik) kadınlarla evlenmeyin. Şundan emin olun ki Mümin bir cariye, sizin hoşunuza gitse de müşrik bir hür kadından iyidir. İman etmedikleri sürece müşrik erkeklerle de kadınlarınızı evlendirmeyin. Şundan da emin olun ki imanlı bir köle, sizin hoşunuza gitse bile müşrik bir hür kişiden daha iyidir. Onlar insanları ateşe çağırırlar, Allah ise izni ile cennete ve bağışlanmaya çağırır, gerektikçe hatırlasınlar diye insanlara ayetlerini açıklar.
اور شرک کرنے والی عورتوں سے تاوقتیکہ وه ایمان نہ ﻻئیں تم نکاح نہ کرو[1] ، ایمان والی لونڈی بھی شرک کرنے والی آزاد عورت سے بہت بہتر ہے، گو تمہیں مشرکہ ہی اچھی لگتی ہو اور نہ شرک کرنے والے مردوں کے نکاح میں اپنی عورتوں کو دو جب تک کہ وه ایمان نہ ﻻئیں، ایمان والا غلام آزاد مشرک سے بہتر ہے، گو مشرک تمہیں اچھا لگے۔ یہ لوگ جہنم کی طرف بلاتے ہیں اور اللہ جنت کی طرف اور اپنی بخشش کی طرف اپنے حکم سے بلاتا ہے، وه اپنی آیتیں لوگوں کے لئے بیان فرما رہا ہے، تاکہ وه نصیحت حاصل کریں۔

And they ask you about menstruation: say, "It is harmful, so keep away from women during menstruation. And do not approach them until they have become pure. Once they have become pure, approach them in the way God has directed you." God loves the repentant, and He loves those who keep clean."
They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness
They will ask thee about menstruation: say, 'It is a hurt.' So keep apart from women in their menstruation, and go not near them till they be cleansed; but when they are cleansed come in to them by where God has ordered you verily, God loves those who turn to Him, and those who keep themselves clean
They will also question thee as to the courses of women. SAY: They are a pollution. Separate yourselves therefore from women and approach them not, until they be cleansed. But when they are cleansed, go in unto them as God hath ordained for you. Verily God loveth those who turn to Him, and loveth those who seek to be clean
They will ask thee also, concerning the courses of women: Answer, they are a pollution: Therefore separate your selves from women in their courses, and go not near them, until they be cleansed. But when they are cleansed, go in unto them as God hath commanded you, for God loveth those who repent, and loveth those who are clean

The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 4:23, 4:22, 2:221, 24:3, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - forbidden + unto + you + are + your + mothers + and + your + daughters; your + foster-mothers; marry + not + those + women + whom + your + fathers + married; two + sisters + together. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
