In Islam, incestuous relationships are strictly prohibited, both in the Quran and the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad). 🏵️🏵️
The Quran prohibits all forms of unlawful sexual intercourse and considers it an evil way. Allah the Almighty says in Surah Al-Isra, verse 32:
"And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is an evil way."

Islamic scholars interpret this verse to include incestuous relationships as a form of unlawful sexual intercourse. Additionally, Islam emphasizes the importance of preserving family relationships and maintaining the dignity of all family members. Incestuous relationships are viewed as a violation of these principles because they involve a breach of boundaries that should be respected between family members.

There are also several Hadith that refer to the prohibition of incestuous relationships. For example, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"May Allah curse the one who marries his daughter to himself or marries his sister to himself." (Sunan Abu Dawud)
This Hadith makes it clear that incestuous relationships, including those between fathers and daughters, and brothers and sisters, are not allowed in Islam.

Furthermore, Islam stresses the value of consent in any sexual relationship, and incestuous relationships are particularly problematic because consent may be compromised due to issues like coercion or manipulation. Incest is considered a form of abuse that harms both the victim and the family as a whole.

In the end, Islam strictly prohibits incestuous relationships based on the principles of preserving family relationships, maintaining the dignity of family members, and upholding the importance of consent. The Quran and Hadith make it clear that these relationships are a form of immorality and an evil way, and Islamic teachings emphasize the importance of respecting these principles.
