Hadith 984

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah's Messenger (SAW) said, "A previously married woman must not be married till she is consulted, and a virgin must not be married till her consent is asked." They asked, "O Allah's Messenger, how is her consent indicated?" He replied, "It is by her silence." [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ : { لَا تُنْكَحُ اَلْأَيِّمُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْمَرَ, وَلَا تُنْكَحُ اَلْبِكْرُ حَتَّى تُسْـتَأْذَنَ" قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ , وَكَيْفَ إِذْنُهَا ? قَالَ : " أَنْ تَسْكُتَ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
