[39] Imam -asws says: Do not get her married to but with the one on her views: ين، كتاب حسين بن سعيد و النوادر صَفْوَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ لِامْرَأَتِي أُخْتاً مُسْلِمَةً لَا بَأْسَ بِرَأْيِهَا وَ لَيْسَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ أَحَدٌ فَمَا تَرَى فِي تَزْوِيجِهَا مِنَ النَّاسِ The book of Haseen Bin Saeed, and ‘Al Nawadir’ – Safwan, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Al Fuzeyl Bin Yasaar who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far -asws , ‘My wife has a Muslim sister.
There is no problem with her views (she has good faith), and there isn’t anyone like her at Al-Basra, so what is your -asws view in getting her married to the people?’ فَقَالَ لَا تُزَوِّجْهَا إِلَّا مِمَّنْ هُوَ عَلَى رَأْيِهَا وَ تَزْوِيجُ الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي لَيْسَتْ بِنَاصِبَةٍ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ He -asws said: ‘ Do not get her married except to the one being upon her views, and marrying the woman who isn’t hostile (Nasibi), there is no problem with it’.
[40] Never marry a woman from the people of the Book, nor upon a Muslim Wife: ين، كتاب حسين بن سعيد و النوادر صَفْوَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لَا تَتَزَوَّجِ النَّصْرَانِيَّةَ وَ لَا الْيَهُودِيَّةَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمَةِ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَنِكَاحُهُ بَاطِلٌ The book of Haseen Bin Saeed, and ‘Al Nawadir’ – Safwan, from Ibn Muskan, from Al Hassan Bin Ziyad who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘Neither marry the Christian woman nor the Jewess upon the Muslim woman.
The one who does that, his marriage is invalid . [41] ين، كتاب حسين بن سعيد و النوادر صَفْوَانُ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: لَا تَتَزَوَّجِ الْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمَةِ The book of Haseen Bin Saeed, and ‘Al Nawadir’ – Safwan, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad, ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘Neither marry the Jewess nor the Christian woman upon the Muslim woman’.
[42] A Syedani is not a Match for a Non-Syed: This topic is discussed in detail elsewhere, as above, a marriage has to be a match, as in the link below: https://hubeali.com/article/marriage-of-syedani-with-non-syed We present one Hadith below, where Imam Sadiq -asws emphasises the importance of the ‘Kuf’ (match).
