The Ruling on Marriage by Shighar
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener says: Abu 'Abd al-Rahman Ahmad ibn Ahmad Husayn Naji Naji al-Farawi, a resident of al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, says: My question, Honorable Shaykh, is that in our village the matter of the marriage of the worker has become widespread and has spread on a large scale. When I advise some of my brothers about this and tell them that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden this marriage and that it is forbidden, they reply: What do we do now that the marriage has taken place? What are we to do now that it has happened? And they ask: What is the status of their situation, and what is the status of the children? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Regarding this matter you mentioned, if each of you desires the other and there is no condition, and the matter is optional, then this is not a condition. It is permissible for you to marry his sister and for him to marry your sister, provided this is without a condition, and the choice is left to the women without forcing them, and without considering the guardian's interest, but only considering the woman's interest. There is no harm in that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
