What is the ruling on explicitly proposing marriage to a woman in her waiting period?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it correct to say that explicitly proposing marriage is forbidden for all women in their waiting periods, while implicit proposals are permissible for a woman divorced irrevocably and for a widow, but forbidden for a woman in the waiting period of a revocable divorce?
The Shaykh : I do not know; I do not have a ready answer at the moment.
The questioner : Yes, very well, O Shaykh. If one explicitly proposes marriage during the waiting period, but the marriage contract is not concluded until the waiting period has ended, do you consider the contract valid, despite the commission of the explicit prohibition?
The Shaykh : Hmm, what?
The questioner : Do you consider the contract valid?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Do you consider this valid?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Of course, with the statement that he has committed the prohibition.
The Shaykh: Of course.
