What is the ruling on hinting at a marriage proposal to a person in the state of ihram?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We spoke about the marriage proposal, but we did not address hinting at a marriage proposal...?
The Shaykh : ...First, the proposal to a mahram, meaning if a man proposes to a mahram, is the proposal forbidden or disliked? The correct view is that it is forbidden, because the prohibition in it is the same as in the contract; the proposal is forbidden, and the generality of the hadith that one should not propose, whether by hint or explicitly.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
It has been established for us that the seventh prohibited act of ihram is the marriage contract, and we explained its evidence, and that if one contracts it, it is not valid, and we explained its evidence and its reasoning as well, and it has been established for us.
