Hadith 1429
- " استأمروا النساء في أبضاعهن، قيل: فإن البكر تستحي أن تكلم؟ قال: سكوتها إذنها ".
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Consult women regarding their bodies (i.e., regarding marrying them off)." It was said that a virgin woman feels shy to speak (so how should she be consulted)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(When seeking her permission,) her silence is her permission."
