كتاب النكاحBook: On the Explanation of Marriage
بَابُ مَا لَا يَجُوزُ مِنْ نِكَاحِ الرَّجُلِ أُمَّ امْرَأَتِهِImpermissibility of marrying a wife's mother
Hadith 1096
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ اسْتُفْتِيَ وَهُوَ بِالْكُوفَةِ، عَنْ نِكَاحِ الْأُمِّ بَعْدَ الْابْنَةِ، إِذَا لَمْ تَكُنْ الِابْنَةُ مُسَّتْ، فَأَرْخَصَ فِي ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَمَا قَالَ، وَإِنَّمَا الشَّرْطُ فِي الرَّبَائِبِ، فَرَجَعَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ، فَلَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ حَتَّى أَتَى الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي أَفْتَاهُ بِذَلِكَ، " فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُفَارِقَ امْرَأَتَهُ " .
Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked in Kufa: A man married a woman, then left her before consummation; now, what is the ruling on marrying her mother? He said that it is permissible. Then Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah and investigated, and found out that the wife's mother is absolutely forbidden, whether one has had intercourse with the wife or not, and the condition of intercourse applies only to stepdaughters. When Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) returned to Kufa, he first went to the house of the person to whom he had given the ruling, and said to him: Leave that woman.
