Re: Divorced People
I just want to clarify one thing that hadees, especially those that were complied by bukhari were not complied as qissay kahaniyan. They were not the object of entertaining you and me. Each hadees of Bukhari either defines a rule of fiqh, or support one.
I am not saying that marrying a widow is a sin, but marrying a virgin is better. It makes common sense also. Who is going to marry a virgin if everyone started to run after a widow or divorced, because somehow we are thinking that it’s more sawab to do that.
Did prophet not know that he himself married only one virgin and twelve non virgin? Then why did he even ask jabir that question and commented that why did jabir not marry a virgin? He should have said that o jabir, you followed my sunnah and married a divorcee, I am so happy. But no, instead he said ‘why did you not marry a virgin’.
This is what I tried to say on this forum in some other thread sometime back but everyone jumped on me like anything
. Common sense is not so common these days… Alas!
