Marriage to a Young Girl
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And his second question says: Is it permissible for him to marry her, like the marriage of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)?
Answer:
And who would prevent it? Yes, it is permissible. If the girl is of an age that can bear it, that is fine, and if she can bear it, it is permissible. If she cannot bear it, he does not have relations with her. He marries her, but he does not have relations with her until she is able to bear it, out of concern for her well-being. This is because girls differ; some have strong, healthy bodies, while others are weak and small. So, if a girl is nine or ten years old and is strong enough to bear intercourse, there is no harm. Yes.
