Marriage
Shaykh Sulaymān al-Ruhaylī explains that marriage made with the intention of divorce is not permissible. It either becomes a temporary marriage or deceit, harming the woman and violating Islamic ethics. He emphasizes that such intentions contradict the honor and justice Islam commands.
Marriage
Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmi explains that there is nothing wrong in a woman marrying a man who is already married. It is permissible for a woman to marry a man with one, two, or three wives, and she should not avoid him for that reason.
Marriage
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that a marriage without a guardian (walī) is null and void. A valid marriage requires a walī, consent of both spouses, and two upright witnesses. Without these conditions, the marriage is not considered valid.
Marriage
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that a first wife cannot prevent her husband from marrying again nor can she make it a condition to be informed. The key requirement is justice, and the husband must treat all wives equally regardless of whether the first wife knows.
Marriage
Shaykh Muhammad al-Madkhali advises that if a student’s sexual desires increase and he cannot marry where he studies, he should return home, marry to protect his chastity, and then continue seeking knowledge later. Marriage becomes obligatory in such a situation.
Marriage
Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali advises that a husband should not leave his wife alone without support. He should either stay with her or take her to Madinah using the lawful procedures, with sincere intention and trust in Allah ﷻ.
Marriage
Shaykh al-ʿUthaymīn explains that the best enjoyment of this worldly life is a righteous wife. A good woman protects her husband’s honor, wealth, and children, and organizes the home. Seek a religious spouse, as she brings true lasting happiness and success.
Marriage
If a suitor has good religion and character, he should not be rejected due to tribal or social status. The Prophet ﷺ made no such condition. If the guardian blocks a suitable marriage, the woman may complain to a judge, and the guardian may lose his authority.
Marriage
If the sister is a practicing Muslim, her guardian becomes the Muslim ruler or court judge. In non-Muslim countries, the head of the Islamic centre can act as her wali to marry her off, if she agrees.
