It is forbidden for a woman to marry during her waiting period. If she does marry, is she sinful, is the contract invalid, or both?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you would allow me, I would complete the brother's question regarding the prohibition of marriage during the waiting period: is the prohibition accompanied by sin, or is the prohibition accompanied by the invalidity of the contract?
The Shaykh : What kind of contract?
The questioner : The marriage contract.
The Shaykh : What was his question?
The questioner : That she got married during the waiting period!
The Shaykh : She got married?
The questioner : That is how I understood it.
The Shaykh : I did not hear him ask about the permissibility of the contract while she is still in the waiting period. That is not permissible. But what he asked was that she actually got married!
The questioner : Okay, hold on.
The Shaykh : Let us read the question so we can see it?
The questioner : Oh Shaykh, the point here regarding the waiting period is that there is something, meaning is there something in her womb? Or is there nothing in her womb? Or does she just need to let this time pass?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
