| Camden Muslims Marriage Connection's mission is to aide willing Muslims "throughout the United States" [and from abroad if we can] in consummating the marriage process based on sound Principles of Islam thereby enhancing family and community life. This is not a hookup, nor social connection but a page for those seriously observing Islam and seeking marriage in Islamic way who are 'lawfully' available for Marriage. Please see out pages about Marriage in Islam, elsewhere, on this site. If you are female you must be sane, born female, proper age, never married, properly 'divorced Islamically' or widowed. If male you must be born male, of age, sane, lawful to marriage according to Islam and not exceeding the limit in marriages.

| "NO JOKING IN MATTERS OF MARRIAGE/DIVORCE ".... when there has been the proposal and acceptance, then the marriage is real, even if one or both parties to the marriage contract was only joking or playing about. This is the view of the Hanafis and Hanbalis, and it is the correct view according to the Maalikis, and the more correct view according to the Shaafa’is. (See Fath al-Qadeer, 3/199; al-Mughni, 7/61; Kashshaaf al-Qinaa’, 5/40; Haashiyat al-Dasooqi, 2/221; Bulghat al- Saalik, 2/350; Nahaayat al-Muhtaaj, 6/209; Rawdat al-Taalibeen, 8/54). The evidence they quote for that is the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “There are three things which if done in earnest they are valid and if done in jest they are also valid: marriage (nikaah), divorce (talaaq) and taking back one's wife (after a first or second talaaq).” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2194; al-Tirmidhi, 11849; Ibn Maajah, 2039, from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him). Classed as hasan by al-Haafiz ibn Hajar in al-Talkhees al-Habeer, 3/424, and by al- Albaani in Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 944). Jest refers to when what is meant by the words is something other than what is assumed. This applies to what you have done, because you made the marriage contract even though you had no intention of being married. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “A divorce that is pronounced in jest takes effect according to the majority of scholars. By the same token, a marriage done in jest is also valid, as is stated in the text of the marfoo’ hadeeth. This is what was narrated from the Sahaabah and Taabi’een, and it is also the view of the majority of scholars.” Al-Fataawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra, 6/63. Ibn al-Qayyim said: “In a mursal hadeeth narrated by al-Hasan from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (it says): ‘Whoever does a marriage contract in jest or divorces in jest or frees a slave in jest, that is valid.’” ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “There are four things which are valid if they are spoken: divorce, freeing a slave, marriage and vows.” Ameer al-Mu’mineen ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “There are three things in which there should be no joking: divorce, freeing slaves and marriage.” Abu’l-Darda’ said: “There are three things in which joking is like speaking seriously: divorce, freeing slaves and marriage.” Ibn Mas’ood said: “With regard to marriage, speaking seriously and joking are the same.” From I’laam al-Muwaqqi’een, 3/100 Based on this, you do not have to renew the marriage contract; your first contract remains valid. And Allaah knows best. http://www.islamqa.com, Fatwa, 20424 |

| [2:221] Do not marry idolatresses unless they believe; a believing woman is better than an idolatress, even if you like her. Nor shall you give your daughters in marriage to idolatrous men, unless they believe. A believing man .is better than an idolater, even if you like him. These invite to Hell, while GOD invites to Paradise and forgiveness, as He wills. He clarifies His revelations for the people, that they may take heed. |
| [5:5] (Y. Ali) This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the People of the Book, revealed before your time,- when ye give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good). |
| [30:21] Among His proofs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility and contentment with each other, and He placed in your hearts love and care towards your spouses. In this, there are sufficient proofs for people who think. |
| [4:4] (Y. Ali) And give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it and enjoy it with right good cheer. |

| 2:230 (Y. Ali) So if a husband divorces his wife (irrevocably), He cannot, after that, re-marry her until after she has married another husband and He has divorced her. In that case there is no blame on either of them if they re-unite, provided they feel that they can keep the limits ordained by Allah. Such are the limits ordained by Allah, which He makes plain to those who understand |
| 2:232 (Y. Ali) When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their ('Iddat), do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands, if they mutually agree on equitable terms. This instruction is for all amongst you, who believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is most virtue and purity amongst you and Allah knows, and ye know not. [Consider in context of 2:230, restriction] |
| 4:3 *** (Y. Ali) If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice. |
| 24:3 (Y. Ali) Let no man guilty of adultery or fornication marry and but a woman similarly guilty, or an Unbeliever: nor let any but such a man or an Unbeliever marry such a woman: to the Believers such a thing is forbidden |
| 24:32 (Y. Ali) marry those among you who are single, or the virtuous ones among yourselves, male or female: if they are in poverty, Allah will give them means out of His grace: for Allah encompasseth all, and he knoweth all things |
| 33:49 (Y. Ali) O ye who believe! When ye marry believing women, and then divorce them before ye have touched them, no period of 'Iddat have ye to count in respect of them: so give them a present. And set them free in a handsome manner [Note:This is directed and specific to men.] |
| 4777. *** [Tafsir 4:3 above] It is related by 'Urwa that he asked 'A'isha about the words of the Almighty, "If you are afraid of not behaving justly towards orphans, then marry other permissible women, two, three or four. But if you are afraid of not treating them equally, then only one, or those you own as slaves. That makes it more likely that you will not be unfair." (4:3) 'A'isha said, "Nephew, an orphan girl may be in the care of her guardian who is attracted by her wealth and beauty and then he wants to marry her for a bride-price less than what is customary for someone like her. They were forbidden to marry them unless they are fair to them and give them their full bride-price. They were commanded to marry other women instead." |
| [ANNOUNCE MARRIAGE], no secret. 4785. It is related that Anas ibn Malik said, "'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn 'Awf arrived in Madina and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, established brotherhood between me and Sa'd ibn ar-Rabi' al-Ansari. The Ansari had two wives and he offered to split his wives and property with him. 'Abdu'r-Rahman said, 'May Allah bless you in your family and property. Just show me the market.' He went to the market and made a profit selling dried yoghurt and ghee. The Prophet , may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw him some days later with a smear of yellow scent on him. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, 'What is this, 'Abdu'r-Rahman?' He replied, 'I have married a woman of the Ansar.' He asked, 'What did you give her?' He answered, 'The weight of a date-stone of gold.' The Prophet said, 'Hold a wedding-feast, even if only with a sheep.'" |

| 4799. [Marrying someone poor]. It is related from Sahl ibn Sa'd that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "Messenger of Allah, I have come to give myself to you (to dispose of in marriage)." He raised his eyes to her and then looked and then lowered his head. When the woman saw that he had not made any decision about her, she sat down. One of his Companions stood up and said, "Messenger of Allah, if you have no need of her, then marry her to me." He asked, "Do you have anything [to give her]?" He said, "By Allah, no, Messenger of Allah." He said, "Go to your family and see if you can find something." The man went and returned and said, "No, Messenger of Allah, I did not find anything." He said, "Look, even if it is an iron ring." He went and then came back and said, "By Allah, Messenger of Allah, no. I did not even find an iron ring, but I have this waist-wrapper." Sahl said, "He did not have a cloak and so she could have half do it." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "What will see do with your waist-wrapper? If you wear it, she will have none of it, and if she wears it, you will have none of it." The man sat down for a long time and then got up. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw him going away and commanded someone to call him. When he came back, he asked, "What do you know of the Qur'an?" He replied, "I know this sura, that sura, and that sura," and he named them. He asked, "Do you recite that by heart?" "Yes," he replied. He said, "Go, I have married you to her for what you know of the Qur'an." |
| 4828. [Woman Offering Herself] It is related that Thabit al-Bunani said, "I was with Anas while his daughter was with him. Anas said, 'A woman came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and offered herself to him and said, "Messenger of Allah, do you have any need of me?"' Anas' daughter said, 'How immodest she was! Shame! Shame!' He said, 'She was better than you. She liked the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and offered herself to him.'" |
