Marriage to the father’s cousin
Question
Q. Can I marry my grandmothers (fathers side) sisters daughter, my fathers cousin?
Answer
Your father’s cousin (grandmother’s sister’s daughter) is considered to be a stranger (non- Mahram) to you. It is permissible for you to marry her. (Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah 11/268)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
