Q & A

What are the five pillars of marriage in Islam?

The five pillars of marriage in Islam are: the prospective groom (the male teacher), the prospective bride (the female teacher), the marriage guardian (wali), two witnesses, and consent (ijab and qabul). All these pillars must be present for the marriage to be valid.

What is the difference between a pillar and a condition in marriage?

A pillar is something that must be present during the marriage contract itself, while a condition is something that must be met before the marriage takes place. The pillars are necessary for the marriage ceremony, whereas the conditions must be fulfilled beforehand.

What are the conditions for the prospective bride and groom?

The prospective bride and groom must meet several conditions: they must be Muslim, mentally and physically capable, clearly identifiable in terms of gender, of legal age (at least 16), and there should be no legal or religious obstacles, such as being in an iddah period or having a prohibited relationship.

Can a marriage guardian be a non-Muslim?

No, the marriage guardian (wali) must be Muslim. A non-Muslim cannot act as a guardian in an Islamic marriage.

What is the legal age for marriage in Islam according to the script?

The legal age for marriage in Islam is at least 16 years old for both the bride and the groom. If either party is under this age, a marriage dispensation from the religious court is required.

What are the obstacles that prevent marriage in Islam?

Obstacles include differences in religion, being in an iddah period (after divorce or widowhood), unclear gender identity, or having prohibited relationships, such as being in a forbidden marriage bond or not being muhrim (unrelated).

Can a woman marry during her iddah period?

No, a woman cannot marry during her iddah period, which is a waiting period after divorce or widowhood. The length of the iddah period varies, but generally, it lasts for three menstrual cycles or four months and ten days in the case of widowhood.

What is the importance of consent in marriage, and how is it confirmed?

Consent (ijab and qabul) is one of the pillars of marriage. It must be given freely by both parties, and it should be clearly understood by everyone involved. The consent must be given in one location, and the language used should be understandable by all parties. There should also be no long pause between the offer and acceptance.

Why is it important that the bride, groom, and guardian are in the same location for marriage consent?

It is important that they are in the same location to ensure that the consent is valid. The marriage contract should take place in the presence of all parties, and it cannot be done remotely via video calls or other media. This ensures that all parties can be seen, heard, and physically present.

What happens if one of the marriage pillars is missing?

If any one of the five pillars of marriage (prospective groom, prospective bride, marriage guardian, two witnesses, or consent) is missing, the marriage cannot take place. All five pillars must be present and valid for the marriage contract to be recognized.
