What is the ruling on misyar marriage?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is now what they call misyar marriage.
The Shaykh : What kind of marriage is that?
The questioner : Misyar.
The Shaykh : Misyar.
The questioner : Misyar.
The Shaykh : What is this?
The questioner : Misyar marriage means the girl stays with her father, and whenever her husband needs her, he comes to her at her father's house.
The Shaykh : That is what happens in Saudi Arabia.
The questioner : Yes, so what do you say about this marriage? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I have not heard of this, but before I answer you, what are the letters of the word? M, K?
The questioner : S.
The Shaykh : S.
The questioner : A, R.
The Shaykh : Excuse me, M.
The questioner : M, S.
The Shaykh : S.
The questioner : Y.
The Shaykh : Masiya.
The questioner : Misyar.
The Shaykh : Misyar.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It means from "sair" (traveling).
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Strange.
The questioner : Or "masir" (traveling).
The Shaykh : Sair, yes, misyar, because he travels to her.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, what do they intend by this?
The questioner : It means the girl stays with her father, and he is in his house, so whenever he needs her, he goes to her. Does this mean it is a marriage with something in it, or what?
The Shaykh : Of course, it is not free from something, because the truth is that marriage is not just, as they say today, enjoying sex, but there is also supervision over the wife, authority over her, commanding her to do what she must do, and then the offspring, the son and the daughter, guiding the children, and applying the rulings of the Shari'ah. So I do not think this is permissible in the Shari'ah, because it conflicts with the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:34] And the authority remains with the father over the daughter, and in that is a reversal of the Shari'ah. And at that point, the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applies here: Sunan Ibn Majah 2521Sahih (Darussalam) Yes, if it were said for a specific period, for a certain duration, for example, for a month or two, there is no objection to this, because here the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applies: But if it is an absolute condition, this conflicts with the verse mentioned earlier. The answer is clear, and praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : It helps people deal in riba (usury or interest), as I think, so it is not permissible. Is there anyone who responded to your food? Please, go ahead.
Al-Halabi : Please, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Please, come on, come on.
Al-Halabi : Please, our Shaykh...
The student : ... with us...
The Shaykh : No, I mean I broke my fast, no blame on me.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh : ... .
Al-Halabi : The answer has already been given.
The Shaykh : Move, everyone. Abu al-Harith, take the door, the door is close to you.
The questioner : Even the one who does not know about this matter started reading from them. I do not know about this matter, I started reading, they laugh at me, they say this is a good deed. I mean, confirming your words, our Shaykh, anyone who started expelling jinn, what is this?
Another questioner : Our Shaykh, what is our position regarding sitting with a brother who talks to the jinn and strikes that man?
The Shaykh : If you do not want to eat, sit down, or leave, heh.
The questioner : Regarding the issue of riba (usury or interest).
The Shaykh : The one who wants to eat, please eat, and the one who wants spiritual food, come.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah.
The Shaykh : What kind of marriage is that?

So I do not think this is permissible in the Shari'ah, because it conflicts with the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other
الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍEvery conditions that is not in the Book of Allah (SWT) is invalid, even if there are one hundred conditions
كلُّ شرطٍ ليس في كتاب الله فهو باطل ؛ ولو كان مئةَ شرطٍThe believers are bound by their conditions.
