Question
In Bosnia they believe that it is not permissible for cousins to marry. Is it in conflict with the Shariah for cousins to marry?
Answer
They are ignorant hence they believe that it is not permissible for cousins to marry. Bosnians are by birth Hanafis, but they are ignorant due to having lived under communist rule. May Allah Ta'ala guide them and us all. May Allah Ta'ala keep you with aafiyat. Marriage to a cousin is perfectly permissible.
