لَا تُنْكَحُ ابْنَةُ الْأَخِ وَ لَا ابْنَةُ الْأُخْتِ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا وَ لَا عَلَى خَالَتِهَا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِمَا وَ تُنْكَحُ الْعَمَّةُ وَ الْخَالَةُ عَلَى ابْنَةِ الْأَخِ وَ ابْنَةِ الْأُخْتِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِمَا[3].

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who commits a forbidden act with his wife's sister. Does this make his wife forbidden to him? Imam (as) said: "Indeed, the forbidden does not invalidate the lawful, and the lawful rectifies the forbidden."
