Arabic text

٣٢٥٥ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ‌أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ : «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَزَوَّجَهَا وَهِيَ بِنْتُ سِتٍّ، وَبَنَى بِهَا وَهِيَ بِنْتُ تِسْعٍ».

Commentary

There is absolutely no difference of opinion concerning contracting marriage of one's non-adult or minor daughter. The disagreement, however, exists in the matter whether the daughter has the right to retain the marriage or not, when she reaches puberty. But the girl has the right to dissolve her marriage when she attains puberty, if the marriage contract was made effective by a guardian other than her father. There is consensus over it.
