Arabic text

3266 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اسْتَأْمِرُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ» قِيلَ: فَإِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تَسْتَحِي وَتَسْكُتُ، قَالَ: «هُوَ إِذْنُهَا»

Commentary

Since Islam is an instinctively natural religion, the rights of women have been given due consideration in it. It prohibits a woman's marriage without her consent. Islam gave women these rights at a time when, previously, women were considered like pet animals; rather they were tied, untied, and sold like animals.
