Summary
Marriage between a male and a female conjoined twin who can be and have been separated is permissible if they are physically capable, meaning there is no defect in organs such as the genitals and womb and they are able to have marital relations. For a male and a female conjoined twin who cannot be separated, marriage is not allowed unless they first undergo separation surgery, because they consist of two bodies and two souls. Conjoined twins who wish to marry are advised to meet medical specialists for the purpose of surgery and to obtain their views on health factors and the harm that may result if the marriage proceeds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
