Ibn al-Munir’s Derivation from the Preference of Some Women in the Wedding Feast

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The author said in the chapter on one who gives a wedding feast for some women more than for others: Ibn al-Munir said, “It is derived from the preference of some women over others in the wedding feast that it is permissible to single out some of them over others for gifts, kindness, and presents.”

Answer:
No, there is no evidence for that. This is a mistake. This is a mistake. The wedding feast is different. The wedding feast is that he provided for the women, and he slaughtered a sheep for her, and he provided for the first one with a sheep. That does no harm. Yes. It may be derived from the preference of some women over others, and from the permissibility of singling out some of them over others.
This is what he asked about. He asked about all of this. No, it is not permissible. The derivation is not correct. Yes. That is all.
If he is able to do so, if he is able, he said, “By Allah, if he is able, he should fulfill his brother’s share.” If he is able to do so, then it is the right of a Muslim over his brother, and it is what unites hearts and gathers this good. By Allah, that you drink coffee, by Allah, that you give preference. If it is easy for him to fulfill his share, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, he ordered him to fulfill the share, because out of your love for him, he swore an oath upon you. Yes. The expiation is upon the one who swore the oath, not upon the one who was sworn upon. Yes.
