MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ It was at the time of the Battle of Khaybar that the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, prohibited fixed-term marriage (1) as well as [the consumption of] the flesh of donkeys (2). Footnotes: 1. Also called 'marriage of pleasure’. It is a type of marriage that was allowed in the early years of the Madīnan community but was later banned. In this type of marriage, a woman would agree to get married for a limited period of time stated in the marriage contract. Spousal rights and obligations of this type of marriage are markedly reduced from those of regular Islamic marriage. 2. The most knowledgeable of the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and most scholars including ath-Thawrī, Ibnul-Mubārak, ash-Shāfiʻi, Aḥmad, and Isḥāq, are of the opinion that fixed-term marriages are forbidden (as defined by God). The opinion of Ibn-ʻAbbās calling for certain allowances in fixed-term marriages indeed changed later on, upon the prohibition by the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him. ”

Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الفرائض باب ما جاء فيمن يرث الولاء

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ يَرِثُ الْوَلاَءَ مَنْ يَرِثُ الْمَالَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِىِّ.

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “The wealth of a freed slave (1) is inherited by the heirs [of his emancipator] (2).” Footnotes: (1) i.e. if he passes away leaving behind no family. (2) i.e. when the emancipator is no longer alive. The inheritance is only distributed among the male paternal relatives of the emancipator, not the females. A woman only inherits from a freed slave if she is the one who freed that slave. Click on ḥadīth to read more
