    Among those who are prohibited to you according (4:23) are "... your sister's daughters" and there's no difference between a sister from the same mother or an other wife of your father! You couldn't even marry the daughter of your sister's daughters as they are prohibited by lineage. – Medi1Saif Apr 04 '16 at 07:20

    How's she your half sister if you have the same father and mother? – Sayyid Apr 04 '16 at 19:35
  • @Sayyid well i think the confusion is that non-Muslims may call them half sister or half brother while in Islam they are clearly considered as sister and brother unless they are bastards! – Medi1Saif Apr 05 '16 at 07:36

NO you can not. Because a half sister (a sister with whom one has only one parent in common) is treated exactly as a (normal) sister in this case ( in Islam). And I think this is commonly known among the Muslim community.
