Nikah (Marriage) & Walima (Reception) in Islam

http://central-mosque.com/index.php/Relationships/nikah-marriage-a-walima-reception-in-islam.html

[24:32] Arrange the marriage of the spouseless among you, and the capable from among your bondmen and bondwomen. If they are poor, Allah will enrich them out of His grace. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.

Asslamo ALlaikum,

I have added a Summary , however adding the whole thing isn't possible.

Jazakullah Khairun

W-Salam,

No its fine...I had to figure out how to add footnotes "today" :-) Footnotes have been holding me back for a while...

I mam Dhahabi (RA) said, "And he took an interest in seeking hadiths and travelled for this. As for fiqh and being precise in providing an opinion and its innermost points, he was at the top. And people are his children in that…"

Asslamo Allaikum,

GM can chase their tails all they want!

Nikah without Wali is valid (not encouraged though) view inline

And here is CLEAR CUT AUTHENTIC proof from the action of Sayyida Aisha (RA) in Sha'rh Maani Al-Athaar from Imam Tahawi (RA)

رقم الحديث: 2735
36 (حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَنَّ مَالِكًا أَخْبَرَهُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنَّهَا زَوَّجَتْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُنْذِرَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ غَائِبٌ بِالشَّامِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : أَمِثْلِي يُصْنَعُ بِهِ هَذَا ، وَيُفْتَاتُ عَلَيْهِ ؟ فَكَلَّمَتْ عَائِشَةُ عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ ، فَقَالَ الْمُنْذِرُ : إِنَّ ذَلِكَ بِيَدِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ : مَا كُنْتُ أَرُدُّ أَمْرًا قَضَيْتُهُ ، فَقَرَّتْ حَفْصَةُ عِنْدَهُ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ طَلاقًا " . وَحَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، فَذَكَرَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ . حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي حَنْظَلَةُ ، وَأَفْلَحُ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي حَفْصَةَ ، بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ .

Hanafees are guilty as charged!

Guilty of understanding the Hadeeth of Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) as understood by his own wife!

Asslamo Allaikum,

The position of the Hanafi Madhab is that marriage is valid but Guardians can approach the Qadi for Faskh if the match is not appropriate, here is the daleel from Muwatta Imam Malik:

It was reported in Al Muwatta' on the authority of `Abdur-Rahman ibn Al Qasim from his father from `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she gave Hafsah bint `Abdur-Rahman in marriage to Al Mundhir ibn Az-Zubayr while `Abdur-Rahman was away in Syria. When `Abdur-Rahman arrived, he said: "Shall someone like me have this done to him? Am I the kind of man to have something done to him without his consent?" `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) spoke to Al Mundhir ibn Az-Zubayr, and Al Mundhir said: "It is in the hands of `Abdur-Rahman." `Abdur-Rahman said: "I will not oppose something that you have already completed." Hafsah stayed with Al Mundhir, and there was no divorce. [Muwatta Imam Malik]

The version which I quoted is from Sha'rh Maani Al-Athaar from Imam Tahawi (RA) while the English is from Muwatta.

The end result is that we are guilty of following Sayyida Aisha (RA).
