26. Nikāh (Marriage)
٢٦۔ كتاب النكاح
"Seek the permission of women with regard to marriage." It was said: "What if a virgin is too shy and remains silent?" He said: "That is her permission."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اسْتَأْمِرُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ قِيلَ فَإِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تَسْتَحِي وَتَسْكُتُ قَالَ هُوَ إِذْنُهَا
"A previously married woman should not be married until her consent has been sought, and a virgin should not be married until her permission has been sought." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is her permission?" He said: "If she remains silent."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تُنْكَحُ الأَيِّمُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْمَرَ وَلاَ تُنْكَحُ الْبِكْرُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْذَنَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ إِذْنُهَا قَالَ أَنْ تَسْكُتَ
