Answer:
Hadith marriage wali
consent guardian
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Your
Question: i didn't understand this hadith.
There are four absolutely obligatory conditions for a
marriage or nikaah to be deemed lawful in the Sight of Shariah and of Allah
Subhanah:
- Proposal
by one party and acceptance by the other.
- The
determination of mehr for the bride.
- The
availability of at least two witnesses to the marriage contract.
- The
consent of the parents/guardians (wali) of the bride.
If even one of the above four obligatory conditions of a
nikaah are not honored, the marriage will not be deemed lawful in the Sight
of Shariah Law and of Allah Subhanah.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3137 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "A woman
may not give a woman in marriage, nor may she give herself in marriage, for the
immoral woman is the one who gives herself in marriage."
It is unlawful in Shariah Law for a woman to give herself
in marriage, or to marry someone without the prior consent of her wali
(parents, guardians, etc.).
If a woman marries someone without the prior consent of
her wali, or if any of the above listed four absolutely obligatory conditions
on a nikaah are violated.that marriage contract will be deemed null and void
in the Sight of Allah Subhanah and in the Sight of Shariah Law.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
