The Ruling on Making a Condition in the Marriage Contract

Question:
May Allah reward you. What is the criterion, may Allah reward you, for making a condition? Does everyone make a condition, or is it specific to certain people?

Answer:
Did you hear the question? Because if one anticipates that there are established causes preventing him, and he expects that he will not be able to proceed, and that he is ill—like the case of al-Wadai'ah, the daughter of al-Zubayr, due to the coming of the hadith—or if he anticipates that he will not be able to continue, then he has the right to make a condition. As for the healthy person who is in good health and has nothing present that prevents him, he does not make a condition, because the Companions did not make conditions. Rather, al-Budai'ah made a condition by the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) because she was ill. So whoever needs to make a condition in light of his condition makes it, but whoever is strong and in good health has no need to make a condition.
