6970. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "A lady-slave should not be given in marriage until she is consulted, and a virgin should not be given in marriage until her permission is taken.” The people said, “How will she express her permission?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “By keeping silent (when asked her consent).” Some people said, “If a man, by playing a trick, presents two false witnesses before the judge to testify that he has married a matron with her consent and the judge confirms his marriage, and the husband is sure that he has never married her (before), then such a marriage will be considered as a legal one and he may live with her as a husband.”

Arabic text

6970 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ تُنْكَحُ الأَيِّمُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْمَرَ، وَلاَ تُنْكَحُ البِكْرُ حَتَّى تُسْتَأْذَنَ» قَالُوا: كَيْفَ إِذْنُهَا؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَسْكُتَ» وَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ: «إِنِ احْتَالَ إِنْسَانٌ بِشَاهِدَيْ زُورٍ عَلَى تَزْوِيجِ امْرَأَةٍ ثَيِّبٍ بِأَمْرِهَا، فَأَثْبَتَ القَاضِي نِكَاحَهَا إِيَّاهُ، وَالزَّوْجُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَزَوَّجْهَا قَطُّ، فَإِنَّهُ يَسَعُهُ هَذَا النِّكَاحُ، وَلاَ بَأْسَ بِالْمُقَامِ لَهُ مَعَهَا»
