Were The Wives Of The Holy Prophet (sav) Prohibited From Marrying Another Man?
This is the directive given in the holy Quran Surah Ahzab. 33: 53 وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُؤْذُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَن تَنكِحُوا أَزْوَاجَهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ أَبَدًا ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمْ كَانَ عِندَ اللَّهِ عَظِيمًا There is whole set of protocols for the wives of the holy prophet in this Surah, you are suggested to have a look at them. Before introducing these protocols, God gave the option to the wives that if they opted to leave the prophet, they could, but if they opted for the prophet, they had to follow the protocols. 33: 28 يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِّأَزْوَاجِكَ إِن كُنتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا These protocols were given against the toxic propaganda and scandalization of the prophet’s house.
