Is it allowed to marry your mother’s cousin?
Question
I am a young female (15 years) and I really, really like my so called ?uncle? (25 years). And is my mother?s real uncle (her mother?s brother) my mahram?...Jazakallah.
Answer
Your mother?s cousin (your cousin Uncle) is not your Mahram. It is permissible to marry him.
Your maternal grandmother?s brother (mother?s mother?s brother) is your Mahram. You cannot marry him.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
