Calls to Reduce Marriage and Plural Marriage, and the Age Gap
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the divorced woman feels that the restaurants are strange; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was strange in marriage from the tasbih, is it absolute?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on his deathbed in marriage from the tashbih, or is it possible? And that is to the expensive marriage or the small marriage, so I often know from others the tashbih for writing the matter of the husband or the husband’s adornment.
The Shaykh:
This is among the plots they want to use to fight marriage, and to let people run wild, just as it is in the lands of the Fuhar, for the maid and the companion and other matters of creation, this is what we want.
As for marriage in Islam, it is a great contract, whether it is from an older man to a younger woman or from an older woman to a younger man. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married Khadijah, and she was older than him (peace and blessings be upon him), so there is no barrier to the difference between the older and the younger in Islam; rather, this is among the great benefits. So this is what the enemies of Islam or those deceived by the propaganda of the misleaders use to attribute to it, marriage in Islam, and praise be to Allah, is between the young and the old, the slave, and is between the rich and the poor, and is between the learned and the unlearned. This is a matter of diversity, and chastity and the obtaining of marriage and offspring, and all these are matters and great benefits, so there is nothing but the slander of these people.
It should not be that the expert marries from the companions, and this is specific to the Messenger. Who says that this is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? But when they failed to answer this hadith, it was not reported that he erred. If they submit with the times, they look.
They say a person should not marry more than one woman, because this causes problems, and they cause and execute from marriage plural marriage, and Allah has permitted it, “And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphans, then marry other women of your choice, two, three, or four,” and the Messenger was just, but what is specific to him (peace and blessings be upon him) is marrying more than four, this is what is specific to him (peace and blessings be upon him), as for the Ummah, it was restricted to four. They say with the verse of creation in the near of near, meaning this causes the effects in naming the beautiful and so on, meaning they want to reduce marriage as much as possible, then in the end they say it is not necessary for marriage, it is not necessary for marriage, like the relationship is between the male and the female of the free people like the animals, this is intended, so some Muslims who do not understand the purpose of the graves may be deceived by some of these advertisements and spread them, as for whoever agrees with them on this, he is a Muslim.
