39. Marriage
٣٩۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
[Machine] Umar ibn Al-Khattab said, "Whichever man marries a woman who is insane, leprous, or suffering from scabies, and he becomes affected by her condition, then she is entitled to her dowry. This is a fine that is to be paid by her guardian."
قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ نَكَحَ امْرَأَةً وَبِهَا جُنُونٌ أَوْ جُذَامٌ أَوْ بَرَصٌ وَمَسَّهَا فَلَهُا صَدَاقُهَا وَذَلِكَ لِزَوْجِهَا غُرْمٌ عَلَى وَلِيِّهَا
[Machine] About Abu al-Wadeen, he said that two brothers married two sisters and each sister was given as a gift to her husband's brother. However, one of them was infected with a disease and Ali judged that each of them should pay a ransom and made him return it to the one who was deceived.
عَنْ أَبِي الْوَضِينِ إِنَّ أَخَوَيْنِ تَزَوَّجَا أُخْتَيْنِ فَأُهْدِيَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى أَخِي زَوْجِهَا فَأَصَابَهَا فَقَضَى عَلِيٌّ ؓ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا بِصَدَاقٍ وَجَعَلَهُ يَرْجِعُ بِهِ عَلَى الَّذِي غَرَّهُ
[Machine] Or Uthman issued a judgment regarding a slave girl who deceived a man by claiming to be a free woman and gave birth to children. Uthman ruled that the man should compensate his child with an amount equal to what he would have given if the child was legitimate. Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that this ruling is based on the value, as a slave cannot be treated in the same way as a free person. Therefore, the compensation is based on the value. The Sheikh said, if someone says that the dowry does not have to be returned, which is the opinion of Al-Shafi'i in the new framework, they argue with the narration that we have received from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "Any woman who is married without the consent of her guardian, her marriage is invalid. If she gets divorced, she is entitled to the dowry for what he enjoyed of her body." Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, therefore, he assigned her the dowry as a penalty in cases of invalid marriage. He did not return it to her, and it was the woman who deceived him, not someone else. It was in a valid marriage, in which the husband has the right to choose, so it is more appropriate for the woman. If it is for the woman, it is not permissible for her to take it and to fine her guardian. Omar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, ruled regarding a woman who gets married during her waiting period, if she is divorced, she is entitled to the dowry. The Sheikh said that he used to say it belongs to the Bayt al-Mal (public treasury), then he changed his mind and said that it is to be given to her as a compensation for what he enjoyed of her body. And Allah knows best.
