Contradictory Stance On Equality Of Husband And Wife
Thank You for that. I do remember getting that response from him during the QnA session however, since this statement in this video of nikah categorically said that this relationship is based on equality, that made things a bit complicated. I understand your point of being equal as a human being however, you’d also agree that he clearly says (“یہ(شادی کا رشتہ) بالکل برابری کی سطح کا رشتہ ہے”) Which is not in context to being a general human being rather even in this relationship of marriage, you’re equal.
Muhammad, I am not attempting to answer your question here, but trying to expand on the subject. Isn’t it that Allah gives this rank to a man if he takes care of his responsibilities; especially the responsibility of earning money and sharing it with his family. Also Allah recommended that a man is better suited for this responsibility. Still, if this responsibility is taken by a wife, she would become higher ranking than the husband. Isn’t this they decide after the marriage and thus before the marriage they are equally ranked?
Ummm sure, if it’s like that. It doesn’t seem to be a mistake and merely needing some elaboration and explanation of the validity of this perspective and its relation with its seemingly contrasting stance but, of course I do understand as a human being we sometimes say something we don’t mean at all.
