co-wives. It is not permissible to combine a woman and her mother in a marriage contract due to what we have mentioned, and because the mother is closer to her daughter than sisters are. If it is not permissible to combine two sisters, then it is even more so for a woman and her daughter.

Section: It is not forbidden to combine two cousins (daughters of a paternal uncle) or two maternal cousins (daughters of a maternal uncle) in the opinion of the generality of scholars, due to the absence of a textual evidence for their prohibition, and their inclusion in the generality of His, the Exalted, statement: {And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these}. Furthermore, one of them would be lawful for the other if they were male. Regarding the disapproval (karaha) of this, there are two narrations: One is that it is disapproved. This is reported from Ibn Mas'ud, and it is the view of Jabir ibn Zayd, 'Ata', al-Hasan, and Sa'id ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz.

The summary of this is that when a man concludes a marriage contract with a woman, she becomes forbidden to his father by the mere act of the contract, due to the saying of Allah the Almighty: {And the wives of your sons} (1), and she is one of the wives of his sons. She becomes forbidden to his son due to His, the Exalted, saying: {And do not marry those whom your fathers married} (2), and she has indeed been married by his father. Her mother becomes forbidden to him due to His, the Exalted, saying: {And the mothers of your wives} (1), and she is one of them. There is nothing in this [regarding]...
