Religion Desk: In Islam, marriage is obligatory for all men and women. But the question is whether a woman can propose marriage to a man or not. What is Islam saying about this?

propose

In our traditional society, if a woman approaches a boy or his guardian with a marriage proposal or expresses interest in marriage, then she is considered impudent or shameless. In the eyes of Islam, the woman is really naughty?

Islam says that if a woman proposes her marriage, that woman is neither impudent nor shameless. It is Shariah Compliant. One of the subjects of Islamic law. As Ummahatul Mumineen Hazrat Khadija Radiyallahu Anha did. He sent her a proposal of marriage after being impressed by the righteous character, piety and faithfulness of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Marriage is a social contract. Some things are seen in it. Among these are the beautiful qualities of character and some social issues. And one of the things that Islam has emphasized in marriage is - 'The religion of the person destined for marriage. This deendari is considered as one of the instruments for marriage.

Therefore, there is no prohibition if an unmarried or unmarried woman expresses her interest in marrying a man who is unmarried or unmarried, being impressed by his piety and good qualities, or sends a marriage proposal through a guardian. Rather it is excellent. It is mentioned in the hadith-

Hazrat Tabith al-Banani narrated, I was with Hazrat Anas Radiyallahu Anhu. And he had a daughter with him. Hazrat Anas Radiyallahu Anhu said-

A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and proposed to him. The girl said, 'O Messenger of God! Do you need me as a wife?

In another narration, 'O Messenger of Allah! you marry me

Hazrat Anas Radiyallahu Anhu's daughter said directly to this proposal, 'Shit! The lack of modesty of the girl! How naughty he is! How shameful!

Hazrat Anas Radiyallahu Anhu said (to his daughter), She is rather better than you; She wanted to marry Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So (she) brought her marriage proposal.' (Bukhari)

The woman's proposition is clear and clear that - there is nothing wrong or shameful if a woman expresses interest in marrying a man because of his piety, piety, virtue and respectable position or affection for religion; Rather, it is a kind of good quality for women.

Caution
One should be careful that there is no apprehension of sedition in the marriage proposal of a woman. Only a woman can propose marriage or express interest in marriage in accordance with Islamic Shari'ah.

May Allah Ta'ala grant all the women of the Muslim Ummah the Tawfik to propose or show interest in marriage to a man of piety and good character. Give the gift of marrying a person who is honest, faithful and has good qualities. Grant me the grace to live a sin-free life. Amen.
