The saying of the Exalted:
One of them said: O my father, hire him قالت إحداهما يا أبت استأجره

The student: Did the marriage take place at the beginning of the contract or at the end of the contract?

The Shaykh : At the beginning. First, it is derived from the noble verse: the clarification that a person’s consultation with his father does not count as belittling him, as she said:
One of them said: O my father, hire him قالت إحداهما يا أبت استأجره
.
And it is derived from it: the gentleness of this woman in addressing her father, as she said:
O my father, hire him يا أبت استأجره
For this reason, they said: A person should not call his father by his name, saying for example: “O ‘Abd al-Rahman,” “O ‘Abd al-Aziz,” or the like. Some of them even say: If he calls his father by his name, he is subject to discretionary punishment, because it is a form of belittling him. As for mentioning him by his name, there is no harm, such as saying: “So-and-so said,” and there is no blame in that. For this reason, we often hear in the hadiths Ibn ‘Umar saying: “‘Umar said,” and “‘Umar said,” and the like. This is permissible, unlike calling out, for calling out has one situation and mentioning has another.
And it is derived from the noble verse: that it is recommended that in the one who is in charge of a matter, whether he is doing it as a volunteer or for a wage, the important thing is that every one who is in charge of a work, these two qualities should be considered in him, and they are strength and trustworthiness.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : ....... It is derived from this that it is recommended that in the one who is in charge of a matter, these two things should be considered: strength and trustworthiness, because with strength comes the ability to execute, and with trustworthiness comes the completion and perfection.
And it is derived from the noble verse: that Musa (peace be upon him) was characterized by these two qualities, strength and trustworthiness, because we said that this sentence is an explanation for her saying:
Hire him استأجره
.
Then he said:
Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years إني أريد أن أنكحك إحدى ابنتي هاتين على أن تأجرني ثماني حجج
[Al-Qasas 28:27]
