Issues of Marriage
A Virgin’s Silence Is Her Consent
Hadith 351
381- مالك عن عبد الله بن الفضل عن نافع بن جبير بن مطعم عن عبد الله ابن عباس أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”الأيم أحق بنفسها من وليها، والبكر تستأذن فى نفسها، وإذنها صماتها.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman who is not a virgin has more right regarding herself than her guardian, and a virgin girl is asked for permission (for marriage), and her silence is her permission."
