1124. Ibn ‘Umar narrated: “The Prophet ﷺ prohibited Shighār.” (Sahīh) (Abū ‘Eisā said:) This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. This is acted upon according to this people of knowledge in general. They do not allow the Shighār marriage. Shighār is when a man gives his daughter in marriage in exchange for marrying the other man’s daughter or sister and no dowry is exchanged between them. Some of the people of knowledge said that the Shighār marriage is annulled and it is not lawful even if they gave them a dowry. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad and Ishāq. It has been reported that 'Aṭā' bin Abī Rabāḥ said: "They marry them simultaneously, and they set the same dowry." This is the view of the people of Al-Kūfah.

١١٢٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى عَنِ الشِّغَارِ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ عَامَّةِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ؛ لَا يَرَوْنَ نِكَاحَ الشِّغَارِ، وَالشِّغَارُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَ الرَّجُلُ ابْنَتَهُ عَلَى أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ الْآخَرُ ابْنَتَهُ أَوْ أُخْتَهُ وَلَا صَدَاقَ بَيْنَهُمَا. وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: نِكَاحُ الشِّغَارِ مَفْسُوخٌ وَلَا يَحِلُّ، وَإِنْ جُعِلَ لَهُمَا صَدَاقٌ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ. وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يُقَرَّانِ عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمَا، وَيُجْعَلُ لَهُمَا صَدَاقُ الْمِثْلِ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ.
