The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says, regarding His saying
and [also for] those who have not menstruatedوَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ
[At-Talaq 65:4]
, is this taken from it?

The Shaykh:
That is, three months; otherwise, if she has not menstruated, that means their waiting period is three months, yes.

Is this taken from it?

A young girl, for example, yes.

The questioner:
He asks: Is the permissibility of marrying a young girl taken from this?

The Shaykh:
If she is married, yes. The father marries off his young daughter; he marries off his young daughter, just as Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) married the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to A'ishah when she was six years old. He married her when she was six, six years old, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) consummated the marriage with her when she was nine. It is permissible for the father, specifically, to marry off a girl who has not reached the age of discernment. Yes.
