Please also explain the rationale &#038; logic of the instruction  associated.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The Holy Qur&#8217;an has explicitly prohibited marrying two sisters at a time. The Almighty says: <\/p>\n<div>You  are prohibited to marry your mothers, daughters, sisters, paternal  aunts, maternal aunts, daughters of your brothers and sisters, your  forester mothers and sisters, mothers of your wives, your step daughters  raised under you born of your wives with you have lain- if you have not  lain with their mothers then marrying them incurs no sin &#8211; wives of  your sons, and two sisters at the same time except for what has been  done in the past. (4:23<\/div>\n<div>The  Holy Qur&#8217;an has not explained the reason of this prohibition just as it  does not mention the reason of prohibition of marrying one&#8217;s daughter  or mother. I think we may not seek logic behind everything mentioned  explicitly in the Qur&#8217;an after we have acknowledged the Almighty as our  Law Giver and affirmed that He is the author of the Qur&#8217;an.<\/div>\n<div>Scholars  have however held that since envy and competition have always existed  between two women under one person there is a great chance that the two  sisters married to one person tread the same path and disregard the  sacred relationship of sisterhood between them. It is only to maintain  the sanctity of the original relation between them that they are not  allowed to be married at the same time.<\/div>\n<div>This is however is the view of the scholars . God knows best.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-07<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6078\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please  clarify in detail with reference to the Qur&#8217;an &#038; Hadith, if it is  allowed to marry wife&#8217;s own sister keeping the wife in marriage as it  is?
