Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, Honorable Shaykh, a brother from Abha asks about the ruling on marriage by shighar or exchange.
Answer:
This is not permissible; it is invalid. If a woman is made an exchange for a woman without a mahr, this is invalid by consensus and is not permissible. As for if there is a mahr for each one, and she is not forced into this and is willing, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement. It is better to avoid it, and it is safer and better to refer to the judge in this matter. Yes.
