The Ruling on Marriage by Exchange (Shighar) and Linking a Woman’s Marriage to Another Woman’s Marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to a letter from a sister of Abdullah from Riyadh. She says: First, in my first question, I ask about the ruling if a man marries a woman on the condition that he marries her sister, the sister of this man, but with the payment of the mahr.
Answer:
If one woman's marriage is contingent on the other's marriage, even if there is a mahr, it is not permissible because of the harm it causes to women and its subjection of them to the desires of men. As for the case where one of the two women's marriage is not linked to the other's, and there is a mahr, whether the husband wishes to marry or not to marry, this has no bearing on the purchase. Yes.
