I asked the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Should the women be asked for their consent to their marriage?" He said, "Yes." I said, "A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps quiet." He said, "Her silence means her consent." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6946)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَاءُ فِي أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تَسْتَحِي قَالَ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فَإِنْ سَكَتَتْ فَسُكُوتُهَا إِذْنُهَا
