أحسن الفتاوی (5/ 73)
وقال في الفتح وفروع أجداده وجداته لبطن واحد فلهذا تحرم العمات والخالات وتحل بنات العمات والأعمام والخالات والأخوال – قلت حاصله أن حرمت فروع الأجداد والجدات مقصورة على البطن الأول لا تتجاوز إلى البطن الثاني فلا تحرم بنت عم الأب لكونها من البطن الثاني لأن بطن الاول من فروع أب الجد هو عم الأب
