The Ruling on Marriage by Exchange (Shighar)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, the one who used the code name Alif Alif from al-Bahah, what is the ruling on marriage by exchange, and what has been reported regarding it in the hadiths, along with their chains of narration?
Answer:
Marriage by exchange is shighar. If a woman is made the exchange for another woman, or if she is forced to do so and has no choice or opinion, this is shighar. It is an invalid marriage because it involves injustice toward women and forcing them upon men they do not want, while they submit to the will of the guardian for his own interests. This is an invalid marriage, and it is the practice that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade. Yes.
