English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي

Nafi narrated to me that 'Abdullah said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the Shighar. I asked Nafi', "What is the Shighar?" He said, "It is to marry the daughter of a man and marry one's daughter to that man (at the same time) without Mahr (in both cases); or to marry the sister of a man and marry one's own sister to that man without Mahr." Some people said, "If one, by a trick, marries on the basis of Shighar, the marriage is valid but its condition is illegal." The same scholar said regarding Al-Mut'a, "The marriage is invalid and its condition is illegal." Some others said, "The Mut'a and the Shighar are permissible but the condition is illegal."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : "

اسْتَفْتَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَذْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ ، تُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا

"، وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ : إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْإِبِلُ عِشْرِينَ فَفِيهَا أَرْبَعُ شِيَاهٍ ، فَإِنْ وَهَبَهَا قَبْلَ الْحَوْلِ ، أَوْ بَاعَهَا فِرَارًا وَاحْتِيَالًا لِإِسْقَاطِ الزَّكَاةِ ، فَلَا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَكَذَلِكَ إِنْ أَتْلَفَهَا فَمَاتَ ، فَلَا شَيْءَ فِي مَالِهِ .
