Marriage: Inter or Outter

[AnonymousPoster]

My friend and I were arguing...

Is it preferred a Muslim gets married to someone within their family or is it preferred they marry from another end of the world?

Or if we're both wrong, what's the preferred method?

The preferred is to marry from outside, I can't find the hadith right now, but insha'Allah a br. or sr. will add it here...

Did you mean this one my dear sis Skye?

The Islamic view is that while marriage between cousins is permissible, it is preferable to choose a marriage partner from outside one's family. We have to distinguish between what is permitted and what is advocated. Some clans restrict marriages to amongst their kin only – a practice far from what is advocated. It is worth stressing here that when marriage of cousins is repeated over several generations, they are bound to have more effects on children.

By permitting such marriages Islam does not encourage them. It advocates the cementing of social relations through marriages between totally unrelated families.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once told one of his Companions to choose a wife from a tribe different to his, and then to choose for his son a wife from a third tribe, and to seek for his second son a girl from yet another tribe.

You didn't fail ukhti. Your input on this forum is too valuable and I didn't want you to spend time doing something I can do when you could be posting here. :wub: :embarrass


May Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you and your family. Ameen thumma ameen.
