The Ruling on Misar Marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the ruling on musyar marriage? And I hope you will speak to us about it in detail?
Answer:
Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) prescribed the marriage contract for the benefits it contains. He created the male and the female for the preservation of the lineage and for the protection of the private parts from corruption. He established this between the husband and wife for great benefits, the first of which is the preservation of the private parts[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-6] [Al-Mu'minun 23:6-7].
[An-Nisa 4:1]. [Al-A'raf 7:189]. So the woman is a place of rest for the man. And the woman is a field for the man [Al-Baqarah 2:223].
That is, a place for the man to put in what he puts in, so that this field grows, this field grows the offspring. And the man takes care of the woman by providing for her, he takes care of the woman by providing for her and protecting her. And the woman takes care of the man in the house, and attends to the household chores, and raises the children, and keeps the husband company when he enters the house. If a man entered a house where there was no wife, he would feel lonely and his chest would feel tight. But if there was a wife, he would find comfort in her and feel at ease with her.
As is well known, the objectives of marriage are not achieved by musyar. Musyar means that he marries her only to satisfy his desire, and she remains with her people, not in his house. She does not submit to the man's authority, and he does not know where she goes or where she is. He has no authority over her at all; she is free to do as she pleases. Then, who will raise the children? Do they go with the father and lose the mother, or do they go with the mother and lose the father? Therefore, the husband and wife must be together in order to raise the children. So, musyar marriage does not achieve the required objectives of marriage. Therefore, it is not befitting for a Muslim to engage in musyar marriage, nor does it fulfill the required purpose, nor do the required benefits of marriage result from it. Yes.

(5) And they who guard their private parts (6) Except from their wives or those their right hands possess
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْfor indeed, they will not be blamed - (7) But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -
فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَO mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَاIt is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَاYour wives are a place of sowing of seed for you
نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَّكُمْThat is, a place for the man to put in what he puts in, so that this field grows, this field grows the offspring.
