Part 10 Marriage advice for Men looking for a wife.

‪#‎Avoid‬ women who look for marriage while she in her iddah waiting period due to طلاق رجعي the type of divorce the husband can take her back. Or even the women who are in iddah from طلاق بائن , pronounce the third talaq or husband past away.

This is forbidden in Islam for the man to engage in marriage with the woman in this waiting period.

As for the women in iddah due to it’s the third talaq pronounce from her husband where he can not take her back, or the women who their husband pass away, you are allowed only to hint you have interest but not allow to make any engagement or having engagement taking place or plan. Allah the Most high said in Quran:

“And there is no sin on you if you make a hint of betrothal or conceal it in yourself, Allah knows that you will remember them, but do not make a promise of contract with them in secret except that you speak an honourable saying according to the Islamic law. And do not consummate the marriage until the term prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allah knows what is in your minds, so fear Him. And know that Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing. ” Surah Baqrah verse 235.

Note: #Hinting is not meant that you go to her and say: ‘I want to marry you’, this is not a hint.

This will be a new series of advice for Muslim men who live in North America related to marriage advice on what type of women to avoid for marriage.

The Prophet صلى الله و عليه و سلم said:

The religion is naseehah (sincere advice).” We said, “To whom?” He صلى الله عليه و سلم said, “To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Marriage advice for the men, these are just my opinions from many brothers older than me, and  who been through the mud with marriages and advice from them. In many cases for married brothers and brothers who are single when people talk about issues related to marriage and things that happen in many cases you are looking into your own fate. So you should give your ear perhaps you can avoid problems in your marriage or looking for a spouse, through the experience of others. It is stated in a Hadith:

“so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it.” (Bukhari)

 

These post are gear for brothers and not sisters. Neither is it to offend any sister who might feel these post are targeting them due to feeling guilty, or feeling being attacked, or it describe you. If you have one of these traits that are described you should try your best to remove it from you.

These post are not saying it forbidden to marry these type of women, it is gear towards clarity of what befalls a lot of women that cause their marriage not to work or leave the man with a lot of problems which he become regretful about. Due to Islam in America and other Western countries many converts come to Islam, and many times no one talks to him about these issues and he is left to learn on his own. This is gear towards revert Muslims and any other who it can reach.

Ibn Hibban narrated in his work Nazahti Al-Fadlaa the advice of Al-Khattaab bin Mu’laa Al-Makhzoomee to his son. At the end of his words he mentioned the following: “Know that women vary more than the fingers of your hand. So be cautious in dealing with them.”

Shaykh Salih al Uthymeen described in the seven type of women not to marry one of them being:

 

Kay’atul-Qafaa:
The women who has a brand mark on the nape of her neck (i.e. has a bad reputation or doubts about her).

Those who disagree with these post , Imam Malik said: ” all speech is accepted or rejected except for the speech of the one in this grave”. He was speaking about the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم.
