Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the sisters is asking. She says: What is the ruling on marriage by exchange (shighar), and what is to be done in that case? And how, I mean, is the solution?
The Shaykh:
The judge reviews this. If the contract is in effect, the judge must look into it. However, if no contract was concluded and the question is about marriage by exchange, marriage by exchange is invalid and not permissible. Yes.
The questioner:
Yes, how does shighar occur? What is shighar, do you say?
The Shaykh:
Shighar is when a woman is exchanged for a woman, with no mahr (bridal gift) between them. Yes.
