Divorce and Marriage in Jokes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there joking in divorce?
Answer:
He jokes in jest, perhaps he jokes in that, and it takes place even if he is joking. Likewise, marriage: if he says, “I have married you to my daughter,” and he says, “I accepted,” and he says, “No, I was playing,” no, he says, “There is no playing; the marriage contract is valid, it is valid, yes.”
