باب اسْتِئْمَارِ الْبِكْرِ وَالثَّيِّبِ:Chapter: Seeking the Consent of Virgin and Previously Married Women
Hadith 2225
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "الْأَيِّمُ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا مِنْ وَلِيِّهَا، وَالْبِكْرُ تُسْتَأْذَنُ فِي نَفْسِهَا وَإِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا".
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “«ايم» A previously married woman has more right regarding herself (in matters of remarriage) than her guardian, and a virgin girl will be consulted regarding herself (marriage), and her silence is her permission.”
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 2223 to 2225)
That is, the veil (hijab) of a previously married woman (thayyib) is lifted after marriage; now, if she is to be married a second time, she will be consulted, and if she explicitly permits the marriage, then her marriage will be conducted, otherwise not. Even her guardian (wali) cannot compel her. However, a virgin girl (bikr) feels shy to give explicit permission, so her silence itself will be considered her consent.
