4:23 Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your fathers' sisters, your mothers' sisters, the daughters of your brother, and the daughters of your sister, your foster mothers who suckled you, your sisters from suckling, the mothers of your wives, and your step-daughters residing in your homes from your wives which you have already consummated the marriage with; if you have not consummated the marriage then there is no sin upon you; and the wives of your sons that are from your seed, and that you join between two sisters except what has already been done. God is Forgiving, Compassionate.
4:24 And "al muhsanati" except "ma malakat aymanakum." This is God's ordinance to you, and lawful for you are those whom you seek with your wealth muhsinina, not musafihina. Then as to those whom you benefitted from, give them their ujuruhunna as appointed; and there is no blame on you about what you mutually agree after what is appointed; surely God is Knowing, Wise.
Ergo; MMA is/can be part of "al muhsanati" and we cannot marry (and have sex?) with al muhsanti if they arent MMA. The question is - what exactly do both of those terms entail? Seems like "al muhsanati" cannot do zina as per verse 24:23. So muhsanti are chaste except the MMA? What about those who are wives, which is a different category than MMA? Can al muhsanati be wives isntead of being MMA - what are the details? Let's reignite this conerversation and topic!
