Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this statement correct, namely that arguing for the marriage of a young girl, or arguing for it based on the marriage of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Aishah, is an invalid argument because it is specific to them? Is this statement correct?
Answer:
This is a false statement. The default is that there is no specificity. The default regarding the actions of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is that they are not specific, unless there is evidence indicating specificity, because he is the role model (peace and blessings be upon him)[Al-Ahzab 33:21] unless evidence indicates specificity. Yes.
