قَالَ ع‌ الْكُفْؤُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَفِيفاً وَ عِنْدَهُ يَسَارٌ[1].

Hadith.4386 - Imam (as) said: "A suitable match is one who is chaste and possesses financial means."

قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌[2] إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قُلْتُ مَا أَدْرِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ إِذَا هَمَّ بِذَلِكَ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَقُولُ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ التَّزْوِيجَ فَقَدِّرْ لِي مِنَ النِّسَاءِ أَعَفَّهُنَّ فَرْجاً وَ أَحْفَظَهُنَّ لِي فِي نَفْسِهَا وَ مَالِي وَ أَوْسَعَهُنَّ رِزْقاً وَ أَعْظَمَهُنَّ بَرَكَةً وَ قَيِّضْ لِي مِنْ

Abu Abdillah (as) said to me: "When one of you intends to get married, what should he do?" I replied: "I do not know, may I be your ransom." Imam (as) said: "When he makes up his mind for that, let him perform two units of prayer, praise Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, and say: 'O Allah (swt), I intend marriage

مَنْ تَزَوَّجَ وَ الْقَمَرُ فِي الْعَقْرَبِ لَمْ يَرَ الْحُسْنَى.

Hadith.4388 - Muhammad ibn Humran narrated from his father, who reported from Abu Abdillah (as) that he said: "Whoever marries when the moon is in a harmful or unfavorable position will not see good outcomes."

رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّهُ يُكْرَهُ التَّزْوِيجُ فِي مُحَاقِ الشَّهْرِ[5].

Hadith.4389 - It is narrated that "It is disliked to marry during the waning phase of the moon."

لَا تُنْكَحُ ذَوَاتُ الْآبَاءِ مِنَ الْأَبْكَارِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ آبَائِهِنَ‌[1].

Hadith.4390 - Al-Ala' narrated from Ibn Abi Ya'fur, who reported from Abu Abdillah {a.s} that he said: "Virgin daughters who have fathers should not be married except with the permission of their fathers."

يَجُوزُ عَلَيْهَا تَزْوِيجُ أَبِيهَا[2].

Hadith.4391 - Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Bazi' asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) about a young girl who was married off by her father, and then the father died while she was still a child. When she grew older, before her husband consummated the marriage, does the marriage remain valid, or is the matter in her hands?

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْجَارِيَةُ يُرِيدُ أَبُوهَا أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَ يُرِيدُ جَدُّهَا أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ فَقَالَ الْجَدُّ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الْأَبُ زَوَّجَهَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِ‌[3].

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a young girl whose father wishes to marry her to one man, while her grandfather wishes to marry her to another man. Imam (as) said: "The grandfather has more right in this matter if the father has not already married her off before him."

إِذَا زَوَّجَ الْأَبُ وَ الْجَدُّ كَانَ التَّزْوِيجُ لِلْأَوَّلِ فَإِنْ كَانَا زَوَّجَا فِي حَالٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَالْجَدُّ أَوْلَى‌[4].

"If the father and the grandfather both arrange the marriage, the marriage arranged by the first one will take precedence. However, if both arranged the marriage simultaneously, then the grandfather has greater authority."

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً وَ لَمْ يُشْهِدْ فَقَالَ أَمَّا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‌ءٌ وَ لَكِنْ إِنْ أَخَذَهُ سُلْطَانٌ جَائِرٌ عَاقَبَهُ‌[3].

Hadith.4394 - Hanan ibn Sadir narrated from Muslim ibn Bashir, who reported from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as). He said: I asked him about a man who married a woman without witnesses. Imam (as) replied: "As far as what is between him and Allah (swt), the Exalted, there is nothing against him. However,

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ الثَّيِّبِ تَخْطُبُ إِلَى نَفْسِهَا قَالَ هِيَ أَمْلَكُ بِنَفْسِهَا تُوَلِّي أَمْرَهَا مَنْ شَاءَتْ إِذَا كَانَ كُفْواً بَعْدَ أَنْ تَكُونَ قَدْ نَكَحَتْ زَوْجاً قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ‌[1].

Hadith.4395 - It is narrated from Abdul Hamid ibn Awad, who reported from Abdul Khaliq, that he said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a previously married woman (thayyib) who arranges her own marriage proposal. He replied: "She has full authority over herself. She may entrust her affairs to whomever she wishes, provide

فِي رَجُلٍ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَ أُخْتَهُ قَالَ يُؤَامِرُهَا فَإِنْ سَكَتَتْ فَهُوَ إِقْرَارُهَا وَ إِنْ أَبَتْ لَمْ يُزَوِّجْهَا فَإِنْ قَالَتْ زَوِّجْنِي فُلَاناً فَلْيُزَوِّجْهَا مِمَّنْ تَرْضَى وَ الْيَتِيمَةُ فِي حَجْرِ الرَّجُلِ لَا يُزَوِّجُهَا إِلَّا مِمَّنْ تَرْضَى‌[3].

Hadith.4396 - It is narrated by Dawood ibn Sirhan from Abu Abdullah (as) that he said regarding a man who wishes to arrange the marriage of his sister: "He should consult her. If she remains silent, it is her consent, but if she refuses, he should not marry her off. If she says, 'Marry me to so-and-so,' then he should

الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي قَدْ مَلَكَتْ نَفْسَهَا غَيْرَ السَّفِيهَةِ وَ لَا الْمُوَلَّى عَلَيْهَا تَزْوِيجُهَا بِغَيْرِ وَلِيٍّ جَائِزٌ[4].

"A woman who has control over herself, is neither foolish nor under guardianship, her marriage without a guardian is permissible."

وَ خَطَبَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ص- خَدِيجَةَ بِنْتَ خُوَيْلِدٍ رَحِمَهَا اللَّهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ خَطَبَهَا إِلَى أَبِيهَا وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ إِلَى عَمِّهَا[5] فَأَخَذَ بِعِضَادَتَيِ الْبَابِ وَ مَنْ شَاهَدَهُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ حُضُورٌ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَنَا مِنْ زَرْعِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ جَعَلَ لَنَا بَيْتاً مَحْجُوجاً وَ حَرَماً آمِ

Hadith.4398 - When Abu Talib (as), may Allah (swt) have mercy upon him, arranged the marriage of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) to Khadijah bint Khuwaylid {s.a}, may Allah (swt) have mercy upon her, after proposing to her through her father, or as some say, through her uncle.

Hadith.4401 - Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Indeed, the most deserving of conditions to be fulfilled are those by which you make lawful access to private parts."

Hadith.4406 - Sulaiman bin Ja'far al-Ja'fari narrated from Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as), that he said: "Whoever approaches his wife during the waning phase of the moon, let him be prepared for the miscarriage of the child."

إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ أَهْلَهُ فَلْيَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ مَنْ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ الْجِمَاعِ وَ كَانَ مِنْهُ وَلَدٌ كَانَ ذَلِكَ شِرْكَ شَيْطَانٍ وَ يُعْرَفُ ذَلِكَ بِحُبِّنَا وَ بُغْضِنَا[1]

"It is not appropriate for a Muslim man among you to marry a Nasibi woman, nor to give his daughter in marriage to a Nasibi man, nor to leave her with him."

وَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لاَ نَصِيبَ لَهُمَا فِي اَلْإِسْلاَمِ اَلنَّاصِبُ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي حَرْباً وَ غَالٍ فِي اَلدِّينِ مَارِقٌ مِنْهُ".

Hadith.4426 - Safwan narrated from Zurara, who reported from Abu Abdullah (as), that he said: "Marry among those who are doubtful (in faith), but do not give them your daughters in marriage, for the woman adopts the manners of her husband and he compels her to follow his religion."

أَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنَ الْبَلْهَاءِ وَ اللَّوَاتِي لَا يَعْرِفْنَ شَيْئاً قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ عَلَى وَجْهَيْنِ كَافِرٍ وَ مُؤْمِنٍ فَقَالَ فَأَيْنَ الَّذِينَ‌ خَلَطُوا عَمَلًا صالِحاً وَ آخَرَ سَيِّئاً وَ أَيْنَ الْ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ‌ أَيْ عَفْوِ اللَّهِ.

Imam (as) replied: "Then where are those about whom Allah (swt) said: 'They mixed a righteous deed with another that was evil.' (Surah At-Tawbah, 9

كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع أَنَّ لِي قَرَابَةً قَدْ خَطَبَ إِلَيَّ ابْنَتِي وَ فِي خُلُقِهِ سُوءٌ فَقَالَ لَا تُزَوِّجْهُ إِنْ كَانَ سَيِّئَ الْخُلُقِ‌[1].

I wrote to Abu Al-Hasan Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) saying: "I have a relative who has proposed to my daughter, but he has bad character." Imam (as) replied: "Do not marry her to him if he has bad character."

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ‌ مَا أُحِبُّ لِلرَّجُلِ الْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً إِذَا كَانَتْ ضَرَّةً لِأُمِّهِ مَعَ غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ‌[2].

I heard Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) say: "I do not like for a Muslim man to marry a woman who would be a co-wife to his mother, with someone other than his father."

سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا ع عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ ابْتُلِيَتْ بِشُرْبِ نَبِيذٍ فَسَكِرَتْ فَزَوَّجَتْ نَفْسَهَا رَجُلًا فِي سُكْرِهَا ثُمَّ أَفَاقَتْ فَأَنْكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ ظَنَّتْ أَنَّهُ يَلْزَمُهَا فَوَرِعَتْ مِنْهُ فَأَقَامَتْ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ التَّزْوِيجِ أَ حَلَالٌ هُوَ لَهَا أَوِ التَّزْوِيجُ فَاسِدٌ لِمَكَانِ السُّكْرِ وَ لَا سَبِيلَ لِلرَّجُلِ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا أَقَامَتْ مَعَهُ بَعْدَ مَا أَفَاقَتْ فَهُ

Hadith.4430 - Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Bazi reported that he asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as), about a woman who had been afflicted with drinking wine and became intoxicated, then married herself to a man while in her intoxicated state. When she sobered up, she denied it but then assumed that the marriage might be

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنِ الْقَابِلَةِ أَ يَحِلُّ لِلْمَوْلُودِ أَنْ يَنْكِحَهَا قَالَ لَا وَ لَا ابْنَتَهَا هِيَ كَبَعْضِ أُمَّهَاتِهِ‌[1].

I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), about the midwife, whether it is permissible for the child she delivered to marry her. Imam (as) replied: "No, nor her daughter. She is like one of his mothers."

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ إِنْ قَبِلَتْ وَ مَرَّتْ‌[2] فَالْقَوَابِلُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ قَبِلَتْ وَ رَبَّتْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْهِ‌[3].

Hadith.4432 - It is narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn 'Ammar that Abu Abdullah (as) said: "If she only received (the child) and then left, then midwives are more common than that. But if she received and raised (the child), then she becomes prohibited for him."

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَتَزَوَّجُ قَالَ لَا وَ لَا يُزَوِّجُ الْمُحْرِمُ الْمُحِلَّ.

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a person in the state of ihram getting married. Imam (as) said: "No, and one in the state of ihram cannot perform the marriage of someone who is not in ihram."

فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ إِنْ زَوَّجَ أَوْ تَزَوَّجَ‌[4] فَنِكَاحُهُ بَاطِلٌ‌[5].

Hadith.4434 - And in another narration: "If he marries or gets married while in the state of ihram, his marriage is invalid."

إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا نَظَرَ شَهْوَةٍ وَ نَظَرَ مِنْهَا إِلَى مَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ لَمْ تَحِلَّ لِابْنِهِ وَ إِنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ الِابْنُ لَمْ تَحِلَّ لِلْأَبِ‌[6].

Hadith.4435 - And it is narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding a man who has a female slave, strips her, and looks at her body with lustful intent, whether she becomes unlawful for his father, and if the father does the same, whether she becomes unlawful for his son
