Being married to two sisters at the same time
Question
I am asking this question on behalf of my friend. He is married and got 2 kids. His wife got postnatal depression and he is thinking of marrying his wife's sister so she can lookafter his kid. Is it allowed in Islam to marry one's wife's sister?
Answer
It is not permissible to be married to two sisters at the same time.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
