NO TOPIC

You β€”

Well This is the new No Topic Topic. πŸ˜›

For those who do not know, this place is to talk about nothing. Nada. Zilch. And everything else which according to you does not deserve it's own topic.

The other one was getting a bit long, and was just full of bickering now.

So we have a new start.

The bickering in the Old no topic should not be carried over to here.

EDIT - go to [url=/node/1781]NO TOPIC[/url] the Third.

regarding the sayed women marrying outside, theres nothing to say they cant do......but a lot of people tend not too, as to keep the lineage of the Beloved Prophet ο·Ί going.

whether you believe thats important or not is up to you

but its not a rule

my sis is married to a syed so inshallah my nephews and nieces will be πŸ˜ƒ

but his cousin, whos a sayed, has married a guy whos not...but no big deal!

and........

cant believe there was no prison break last night....all due to the stupid state of union address by Dubya last night :x

no point waking up on a tuesday morning if theres no prison break to watch

Just close your eyes and pretend it's all just a bad dream. That's how I get by.

In Fiqh, one of the essential conditions to be considered for a valid nikah (ie marriage contract) is that the [u]bride[/u] is married to a "suitable match" (kafa'a). What is considered "suitable" differs amongst the ulema, but includes things like faith, profession, wealth, chastity, health [b]and lienage[/b]. This is based on the hadith that says (paraphrased) of if a suitable match comes and asks your daughter's hand in marriage, you should not refuse it.

Since something like lienage is considered a factor for suitability, it is a valid ground (for both the Wali and/or girl) upon which to refuse a suitor (ie a Sayed girl marrying a non-sayed boy) for marriage. The same case is not for a boy/groom (who can marry a non-sayed/non-Quraishi/non-Hashimi etc girl). (Some go to the extent of saying non-Arabs cannot marry Arabs.. but today there arent very many pure Arab blooded families that can trace their lienage back to the Prophet saw, which imo weakens this argument).

It needs to be remembered that even without these "suitability" factors, a nikah is legally valid, and to put it simply you *can* marry whom you want.

Thats looking at it at its most simplest. I was trying to explain the reasoning behind why some say you cannot marry a sayed etc.

I'll put it in another way.. The 4 Imams (Hanafi, Shafi' etc) place suitability (kafa'a) (ie lienage, education, profession etc) as a [u]condition for a nikah contract to be valid[/u].
This however doesnt make it a requirement. If the girl (and wali?) [u]agree[/u] to marrying a person with different "suitability" factors [u](ie they make an exception), [/u]then the nikah is valid (and so they can marry whomsoever they want). Also, what is considered "suitable" is relative to each girl's own upbringing and environment. For example, a princess would not be considered "suitable" to marrying a pauper, but if she was agreeable etc, then she could.
And Allah swt knows best

My signature doesn't display, can anyone else see it? Can you see your own signatures?

Up until now I haven't had one, because I never thought it was necessary to repeat something after every post, until now.

You β€” Tue, 29 Jan 2008 - 23:11

nope, can't see it. Is it using acceptable markup? (I don't think you can have html or images, but I may be wrong.)

Naz β€” Wed, 30 Jan 2008 - 20:38

erm you can touch your right elbow with your left hand but not with your right hand.

Is that one?

Ya'qub β€” Wed, 30 Jan 2008 - 20:39

The third is applicable to Muslims only...
