The Ruling on Marriage at an Early Age
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (O young men! Whoever among you can afford the marriage expenses, let him marry) If a young man can afford the mahr, or has the ability to marry while he is, for example, fifteen years old, is it permissible for him to delay? And is there a specific age for marriage?
No, there is no specific age; it is permissible for him to marry when he is ten years old.It is said: There is a ten-year difference between 'Amr ibn al-'As and his son 'Abdullah. The earlier a young man marries, the better it is.
And it is said: There is an eleven-year difference between 'Amr ibn al-'As and his son 'Abdullah.And al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: (I saw a woman who was twenty-one years old).
And "Jaddah" means: She married early, and her daughter married early.
