١٤٩ 149 Concerning Unlawful Kinds of Food presumptively forbidden, and whoever is in a similar situation by reason of fosterage—is that one marry them in a way that is otherwise lawful. If someone were to ask: “What indicates that?” one should reply: Women are generally permitted to be taken in marriage, though it is not lawful to marry more than four of them at once. If someone marries a fifth, then that marriage is annulled. None of them is lawful without a valid marriage. The fifth is lawful in one sense, just as a single wife would be, according to the purport of His saying “Lawful to you are women other than those just mentioned ,” that is, in the sense according to which marriage is in general lawful, and on condition that it be engaged in lawfully, but it is not lawful absolutely. Thus, the marriage of a man to a woman does not make his marriage to her paternal or maternal aunt unlawful in every circumstance in the way that God outlawed marrying a woman’s mother in all circumstances. The paternal and maternal aunt are also covered by this rationale, according to which marriage to them is lawful in general, but only to the extent that it is otherwise lawful under all the facts and circumstances. Similarly, it is lawful for a man to marry a fifth wife, as long as he first divorces the fourth wife, and also to marry the paternal aunt, as long as he first divorces her brother’s daughter. Concerning Unlawful Kinds of Food God said to His Prophet: «Say, “I do not find in what is revealed to me anything that is unlawful for someone to eat, unless it is carrion or blood spilled out or the flesh of a pig—for that is an abomination—or something ungodly killed in the name of someone other than God.”»227 The verse could mean two different things. One is that the only foods that God prohibited are those that He made the subject of the above exception. That is the meaning that would first come to mind for anyone addressed by this verse: that only what God has made forbidden is unlawful.
