Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited marrying a woman over her paternal aunt, or the paternal aunt over her brother’s daughter, or a woman over her maternal aunt, or the maternal aunt over her sister’s daughter. The younger is not married over the elder, nor the elder over the younger. Narrated by Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ad-Darimi, and An-Nasa’i, whose narration stops at "her sister’s daughter."
