Al-Lu'lu' wal-Marjan 896 — Widow’s consent by speech, virgin’s
896 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَاءُ فِي أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قُلْتُ: فَإِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فَتَسْتَحِي فَتَسْكُتُ، قَالَ: سُكَاتُهَا إِذْنُهَا
Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should women be asked for their consent regarding their marriage?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes." I said, "But if a virgin girl is asked for her consent, she may remain silent out of shyness?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Her silence is her consent."
