\n\tFatwa ID: 01964<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswered by <\/strong>Mufti <\/span><\/span><\/span>Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA Muslim sister is living with Muslim Brother A for more than 4 years without marriage. The Sister decided to repent and leave Brother A because Brother B proposed a marriage with the Sister and she accepted it while still living with Brother A.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMy questions are:
\n\t1. Is it allowed to propose to a woman living with a man without a marriage?
\n\t2. If it is allowed how long is the "iddah" before Sister is permissible for Brother B.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the Hanafi Fiqh it is permissible to marry a woman who had an illicit relationship before marriage. (Maariful Qur’an p.343 v.6)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAllah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu says:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“The adulterer marries not but an adulteress or a Mushrikah and the adulteress none marries her except an adulterer or a Muskrik” (Surah Nuur v.3)  <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe objective of this verse is not to mention a legal ruling, but to merely describe a fact of life that someone who is a habitual fornicator likes women of that nature and vice versa. He or she are attracted to such people to fulfil their lust rather than having a long term relationship in the form of marriage. (Maariful Qur’an p.356 v.6)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRegarding your second question, there is no iddah for a woman who indulges in adultery. The sister in question can marry the boy straight away. (Aapke Masaail p.416 v.5)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
