Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Finally, he asks: I want to marry the sister of one of the brothers, and he wants to marry my sister as well, and this is not a condition in our marriage. How do we avoid the situation of shighar? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the statement you mentioned, if each of you desires the other and there is no condition, but the matter is voluntary, then this is not a sale. It is permissible for you to marry his sister and for him to marry your sister, provided this is without a condition, and the choice is left to the women without forcing them, and without regard to the guardian’s interest, but only regard to the woman’s interest. Then there is no harm in that. Yes.
