Question
A man has had an illicit affair with his wife's sister. Is his marriage still valid?
Answer
Although the haraam immoral affair is vile to the extreme, the marriage is still valid. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), emphasizing stricter purdah for the brother-in-law, said: "The brother-in-law is the Maut (Death of his sister-in-law)."
