6946. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها I asked the Prophet ﷺ, "O Allāh's Messenger! Should the women be asked for their consent to their marriage?" He said, "Yes." I said, "A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps quiet." He said, "Her silence means her consent."
6946 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو هُوَ ذَكْوَانُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، يُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَاءُ فِي أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ: فَإِنَّ البِكْرَ تُسْتَأْمَرُ فَتَسْتَحْيِي فَتَسْكُتُ؟ قَالَ: «سُكَاتُهَا إِذْنُهَا»
