Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. The silence of women in such a case, Shaykh Salih, is it considered consent, or must they be required to claim it, and must they explicitly state what is in their hearts? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The silence of women is because they are overpowered. May Allah send blessings upon him. They are commanded, and they fear the men, or they are shy of speaking. Silence does not indicate their consent, until they explicitly waive their right. Yes.
