Sheikh Al-Azhar Discusses Marriage Qualities
Sheikh Al-Azhar Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb announced that Sharia permits a woman to present herself to a man interested in marriage. He mentioned that this ruling is derived from the Sunnah, noting that a woman once offered herself to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He emphasized that the choice should be based on faith, morals, and righteousness, not appearance or wealth. He also pointed out that a father has the right to propose his daughter to suitable men, citing the story of Hafsa, daughter of Omar ibn Al-Khattab, who offered her to Abu Bakr and Uthman before she married the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He stressed the importance of facilitating marriage to alleviate financial burdens and called for adherence to Islamic guidelines in acquaintance and marriage. Additionally, he highlighted the significance of supporting youth economically by providing small housing units and reducing dowries.
