the sacred, or inviolable, tie of relationship by marriageصُهُورَةٌ
1.1a relation, or kinsman, or kinswoman, of a man's wife, or of a woman's husbandحَمْءٌ

Or the father or brother or other kinsman of a woman's husband; also حَمٌ and the like.

Or the father or brother or other kinsman of a man's wife, according to some of the Arabs; As says that no one says otherwise, and IAar says the like.

Or any relation of a man's wife or of a woman's husband whom it is unlawful to marry: the father, the brother, the son, the paternal uncle, and the maternal uncle.

Or a man's relation by marriage; and a kinsman of a man's relation by marriage; or a man who has married among a people; and the husband of a man's daughter; and the husband of a man's sister.

Fr says that in the Qur 25:56 it means a relation whom it is lawful to marry, such as the daughter of a paternal uncle or of a maternal uncle, while نَسَب in the same place means a relation whom it is unlawful to marry.

Zj says that the first means a relation whom it is unlawful to marry, and the second such as is not a صِهْر of those mentioned in the Qur 4:27, from the words “your mothers are forbidden to you” to the words “and your combining [as your wives] two sisters.”

I'Ab explains نسب and صهر in the former passage of the Qur differently from Fr altogether, and partly differently from Zj, saying that the first applies to the seven relations mentioned first in the Qur 4:27, and صهر to the remaining six mentioned there and the one mentioned in the verse before it. [So it includes a man's foster-mother, who has suckled him; his foster-sister, who has been suckled with him; his wife's mother; his step-daughter under his guardianship, born of his wife with whom he has gone in; his son's wife; his wife's sister combined with that wife; and his father's wife.] Az says that this is correct.

In the Qur 25:56 it means ذُو صِهْرٍ, whether male or female; or ذَوَاتُ صِهْرٍ.

Plural أَصْهَارٌ, and also صُهْرَآءُ, which last is irregular. [صِهْرَةٌ, applied to a female, plural ضِهَرَاتٌ, is apparently postclassical.]

1.2figurative · مجاز[An excellent son-in-law is the grave]نِعْمَ الصِّهْرُ القَبْرُ

A grave, or sepulchre: they used to bury their daughters alive and say, “We have married them to the grave.” Then, in the time of El-Islám, this expression was used.

Or, correctly, it means that which takes the place of the صهر.
