The Ruling on Marriage by Exchange Between Relatives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, O Shaykh: Some people marry by way of exchange, meaning: I give you a woman from my relatives, and you give me a woman in exchange for her. What is the ruling on this marriage?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This marriage by exchange is the marriage of shighar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it, and it is not permissible. He cursed whoever does it and called it the borrowed she-goat. Therefore, this is not permissible. One must marry out of desire, without shighar. As for saying, “Marry me and I will marry you,” this is not permissible. Yes.
