I have no doubt whatsoever, but these kind a things come to mind. Whem
Adam and Eve bore children, I assume their children got married among
themselves. Isn't marryingbetween brothers and sisters haram in the
Quran?
Can you recommend a good book(s) on Islamic Law covering every and
each aspect of Life? Thankyou very much for the generous work for the
sake of Allah.
Thanks.

All Praise be to Allaah.
As long as you are confident in your heart about your belief, no
suchinsinuations will hurt you (inshaa' Allaah). If a doubtstrikes a
believer or something appears to himas a conflict between different
textual sources of Shari'ah, he must believe that indeed for such
doubts there are trueanswers and for such apparent conflicts there are
solutions even if he doesn't know it or is unable to find the right
answer himself. However, a person should not collect all the doubts in
his heart and worry aboutthe complexities and leave aside the learning
ofuseful knowledge. This is because it is incumbent upon a Muslim to
learn and know things which have been clearly described (Muhkamaat) in
Shari'ah so that he may be able to repel the doubts.
Regarding the question you have asked, it is a known fact that
legislation differs from one Shari'ah to another, while the principles
and beliefs remain the same inall of them. So, making of portraits was
allowed in the Shari'ah of Sulayman (peace be upon him) but is
prohibited in our Shari'ah. Similarly, makingprostration of salutation
was permitted in the Shari'ah of Yusuf (peace be upon him) but is
illegalin ours. Also, war booty was prohibited for nations before us
but it is completely legal for us. The Qiblah of people before us used
to be towards Bayt Al-Maqdis, but for us it is towards Ka'bah. In a
similar way, marriage between brothers and sisters was permitted in
the Shari'ah of Adam (peace be upon him) as opposed to those that came
afterwards. Thefollowing is a clarification on the issue by Haafidh
Ibn Katheer, who said:
Allaah allowed Adam (peace be upon him) to marry his daughters to
hissons for necessity. Every couple used to have a boyand a girl.
Hence, he married the girl of one couple to the boy of another. This
is said by Suddi regarding what has been narrated by Abu Maalik and
Abu Salih, fromIbn 'Abbas, by Murrah from Ibn Mas'ood and by other
companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) that Adam did not have
(in his grandchildren) a baby boyunless it was accompanied by a girl,
so he married the male of a couple to the female of another, and the
female of a couple to the male of another.
