“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A mother and daughter are the same if one has not gone to bed with her, that is, if one marries a woman then divorces her before going to bed with her, in such case it is permissible to marry her mother or her daughter.”

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a man who married a woman in manner of al-Mut‘ah; if it is permissible for him to marry her daughter. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not permissible.’”

“About the case of a man who marries a woman and lives with her for many days, unable to do anything except that he has seen from her what is unlawful for others to see; then he divorces her; if he can marry her daughter. He (the Imam) said, ’How can it be proper for him when he has seen of her mother what he has seen?

“I once asked abu Ja’far (a.s.), about the case of a woman who was pregnant and her husband died. She gave birth and married before the passing of four months and ten days.
