Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there explicit evidence for the hadith regarding marriage before the age of nine?
Answer:
The story of 'A'ishah, the marriage of 'A'ishah to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this is the basis for this.
Q: If the father dies and the grandfather sees a benefit in marrying her off, and she is less than nine years old?
The Shaykh: No, he does not marry her off except with her permission after she reaches the age of nine or more. This is specific to the father, in accordance with the text, due to the principle of generality.
And the father takes the permission of the virgin, this is the basis, with the exception of the story of 'A'ishah only.
