Fear Around Touching To Be Mother In Law, Hurmat-E-Musahrat
@Irfan76 sir what is the illat behind prohibition of marriage with one father’s wife? If the illat is that she had physical coitus with father and it’s now immoral to sleep with someone with whom father has slept. Then wouldn’t the same illat be seen with someone whom father committed Zina with? A woman slept with father and now is sleeping with son etc. Sir secondly, a hanafi scholar gave an example that if for example a man commits Zina with a woman, then a daughter is born out of this contact. Then how can he marry that daughter girl when she had been born our of his own body. Then in the same sense how can he marry the mother of woman whom he had Zina, when he can’t marry this daughter of woman with whom he had Zina etc… This example made me feel like indecisive and on a two way road… Can you help me understand sir
@Irfan76 but sir the illat that you suggested. Would not be there in case the father dies and son marries the previous wife of father that is not his mother. But Quran prohibited it in surah nisa ayat 22, as ghamidi sahab told, that Arabs used to marry the wives of their father after their death and even in some cases the wives were distributed as heritage. So quran prohibited it etc as ghamidi sahab told
The possibility of marrying a father’s wife or daughter-in-law can create rivalry and can lead to them breaking the marriages or murdering each other. Moreover, living in such close relations, the feelings should be pure.
Nakaha inherently means consummated marriage, unless it is explained that it is not consummated. The explanation in the case of daughter of wife is explicit that is understood in the other cases as well. We have a precedent in the history of Islam that the women whom the prophet married but did not consummate the marriage were allowed to remarry, although the wives of the prophet were declared haram on Muslim forever.
