Question
Assalamualaikum sir
I want to ask a question about marriage
Can we marry dads (chacha)brother daughter .
reply me soon.
Answer
In the name of Allah The Sovereign, The Most Holy,
First of all I would like to appreciate your sincere heart in serving Allah the Most pure( Al Quddus), and I would like to thank you for the great confidence you place in me,
Now as for your question,
[024:032 Sale Noble Quran] "Marry those who are single among you, and such as are honest of your men-servants, and your maid-servants: If they be poor, God will enrich them of his abundance; for God is bounteous and wise."
Here we see Allah Almighty commanding mankind to marry all those of the marrigable age, who are single. Allah The Sovereign is literally commanding us to marry our slaves, and relieve them of their slavery.Allah tells us that they may be poor, but he will surely reward us for our great deed.
Lets see the restrictions with regard to marriage as per the Quran,
[004:023 Noble Quran Munir Munshey ] Forbidden for you to marry are: your mothers, your daughters and your sisters, your father’s and your mother’s sisters, your brothers’ and sisters’ daughters, your foster mothers (that is, any women) who (may) have breast fed you, and the foster sisters who have shared the breast milk with you. (Also forbidden are) the mothers of your wives, and the stepdaughters under your care from your wives with whom you have had conjugal relations. But if you did not consummate the marriage (before you divorced her), then there is no sin (for you to marry her daughter). It is forbidden for you to marry the wives of your (biological) sons (that is, those who spring) from your loin. (It is forbidden) for you to gather two sisters in wedlock at the same time. But whatever has happened (in the past), has happened. Allah is the most Forgiving and the most Merciful.
So as we see your question has been answered as per the Noble Quran.You may marry your Chacha's daugter, but you cant marry your Chachi.
Now lets see some beautiful verses from the Quran reagarding marriage,
[030:021 Noble Quran Sale] "And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest in them, and He put between you love and compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect."
Find rest and peace in your wife, Live with LOVE and Compassion with her.
"O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may take away part of the dower [money given by the husband to the wife for the marriage contract] ye have given them, except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good. (The Noble Quran, 4:19)
Allah , the Most holy, is commanding Muslims, not to force anyone one into marriage, it is forbidden also Allah, the Most pure has commanded Muslims to deal witheir wives on a footing of kindness and equity.
The Qur'an says: "Your wives are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them." (2:187) So a husband and wife complete each other - each one takes on a new aspect of their humanity, a new facet and depth to their personality by entering into marriage and this is symbolized in this verse. Garments also conceal the body and protect the wearer so that a husband and wife are each other's protectors and helpers and each of them safeguards their partner's honor shaping the state of marriage into a haven and a sanctuary where each should feel safe and secure, sheltered in one another's care and guardianship.
The qur'an also says "And of everything we created a pair, that happily you may remember." (Qur'an 51:49) The word for spouse, "zawj", (this is the word that is used in the marriage ceremony, the Nikkah ceremony) - the word zawj literally means one part of a pair - and when the pair come together and act in concert with one another, then concealed potentials within them, potentials that were impossible to realize while they were apart make themselves evident. This is true throughout creation. And human marriage in the Qur'an is considered a reflection of a nature and tendency that exists at all levels of creation. When something is created as one part of a pair it is clearly incomplete without the other - as the Qur'an states, "He himself created the pair, male and female." (Qur'an 53:45)
Hope this answers your question,
Thanking you,
Dr.Imran K Chitalwala.
