The Figh of Marriage

There are some rights in which both spouses share and which become obligatory due to a sound marriage contract. These include the following:

(1) Having the Right to Enjoy One Another

If the marriage is performed between the two spouses and the proper conditions of having the wife go to her husband and his ensuring that he will provide her housing and maintenance are met, and there are no preventive factors such as them being in the state of pilgrimage, it is allowed for the spouses to enjoy each other [physically] in the ways allowed by Islamic law. This, in fact, is one of the purposes of marriage. Allah says in the Quran,

“It is permissible for you to have sexual intercourse with your wives during the nights of [days of] fasting. They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them” (al-Bagarah 187). The wife is a source of repose and comfort for her husband and he is the same for her. Allah says, Clee eeg ) tre ye Ok ow Ae oe ere % ae Sey GB PKd Ely il Saal So SS GS OF UT Gy

“And of His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy” (al-Room 21).

(2) Establishing the Rights of Inheritance between the Spouses

If a proper marriage contract is completed and then one of the spouses dies before his or her spouse [while they were still married], the right of inheritance is established between them, as long as there are no legal factors to prevent such inheritance. Allah says in the Quran,

gi GO sed Loy why 5s Ue “And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child. But if they have a child, for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they have made or debt. And for them is one fourth if you leave no child. But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you made or debt” (al-Nisaa 12).

(3) Treating Each Other in a Good and Kind Manner

This was discussed previously.

(4) Establishing the Forbiddance of Marriage to Relatives

It is forbidden for the husband to ever marry the mother of his wife, no matter how far back one goes [such as the grandmother, great grandmother and so on]. Similarly, he cannot marry her daughter [no matter how far down one goes, such as the granddaughter and so forth]. It is also forbidden for him to be married to both his wife and at the same time be married to her sister, paternal aunt, maternal aunt or niece no matter how far removed. Similarly, it is forbidden for the woman to

marry her husband’s father or son, no matter how far one goes in the lineage.

These are some of the rights of the spouses and some of their mutual rights presented in a general fashion. It was not the purpose to present all of their rights but it was simply intended to state their different types and the founding principles. What we have mentioned indicate those that we did not mention.

Whatever is correct in any of the above is from the One, the Bountiful. Whatever is incorrect is from my own soul and from Satan, and Allah and His Messenger are free and innocent of it.

Allah is the One to ask to make what I have written beneficial for me, my parents and the Muslims as a whole. He is also asked to make my scale heavier due to it on the Day of Resurrection. He, perfect and exalted be He, is the best to ask and the most generous to put one’s hopes in. And may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the servant of Allah and His Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon all his family and Companions.
