The Condition in Marriage and the Trust of a Woman’s Guardianship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek refuge in Allah. There is no [unclear phrase] between the house and the house in the writing of the [unclear phrase], so is this not the case, or is it an obligation from the [unclear phrase]?
Answer:
No, this is good, this is good. Make it a condition on him that he does not do what will harm her, because he harms her and harms her children. May Allah reward you with good. This is a valid condition, and if he violates it, you have the right to [remove] the harm. Yes. And men do not do this, and men do not do this, and men do not do this. They do not marry off [women] except to one who fears Allah, (Glorified and Exalted is He), and great good is achieved. But they marry off [women] to whoever has a lot of money, or to whoever they love or their relatives, even if they are the worst of people and the most unsuitable for a woman. It is a trust. The woman is weak and pitiful, and you are entrusted with her guardianship and looking after her, so you must strive for what is good for her and beneficial to her. Do not deceive her with a desire for [something], if she desires a man for her wife even if he is not suitable, and do not look at the woman’s benefit; this is deception and betrayal. Yes. Allah the Exalted knows best. (Peace and blessings be upon him) upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions.
